About The Book

Angela wakes up full of hope – she is expecting a visitor. She prepares her hair, puts on perfume and bakes her speciality – shortbread cookies. She waits, impatiently at times, and finally the little girl arrives...

Angela and the Cherry Tree provides a touching insight into the mind of a person suffering from dementia. It is a rare and poignant picture book, handling a sensitive subject with respect and dignity. Its insights and beauty are derived from perceptive, lyrical detail and stunning illustrations.
