Little Readers.
Big Conversations.
Helping children understand dementia through stories, love and conversation.
It started with one little book.
It became something much bigger.
Through Billie’s Eyes was created from our family’s personal experience with dementia. Along the way, we discovered a gap… There simply weren’t enough resources helping children understand dementia in a way that felt relatable, gentle and that made sense to them.
So, we decided to fill it.
What began as a children’s book has grown into a mission to start conversations, raise awareness and make dementia easier to talk about- for children, families and communities.
That mission continues through my work as an author and Dementia Australia Advocate.
Beyond The Book
A VOICE FOR CHANGE
Hon Reece Whitby MLA
A conversation that created change.
After meeting with the Hon. Reece Whitby MLA to share my hopes for Through Billie’s Eyes, Reece purchased copies for every primary school and library in his electorate helping this important conversation reach even more children and families.
