Grandpa Sloth Needs Help
Grandpa Sloth Needs Help by Jane Matthews (illustrated by Rachael McLean)
This gentle, reassuring picture book helps young children understand what happens when an older relative needs extra care. When Grandpa Sloth finds everyday tasks harder to manage, Sloth feels worried about him moving to a care home — until he realises Grandpa can still enjoy the things he loves, just with a little help. Told with warmth and sensitivity, the story opens up calm conversations about ageing, care, and reassurance. Thoughtfully designed to support children through real-life changes with confidence and compassion.
