Walk Like Penguins by Brandy Lay
Gabby and her brother Brennan love making memories with their grandfather. . .they love to dance, swing, and chase each other around the zoo! One day, Gabby notices that Pop-pop can’t do all the things he used to be able to do. In Brandy Lay’s Walk Like Penguins, we enter Gabby’s story as she learns that her grandfather has ALS, a disease that weakens his muscles and makes it harder to move around. Even so, Gabby and Brennan continue to make fun memories with their Pop-pop, things just look a little different. Now, instead of chasing each other around the zoo, they pretend to walk like the penguins!
