This 4 minute cartoon is about a young dragon called Simon, his mummy, and Grandpa Drake. As Grandpa Drake gets older, he exhibits behaviours common with dementia and getting old, like not being able to find items, or forgetting things. Children may have come across some of these things in their own families, and the cartoon can be used to discuss these issues.


A resource pack is available which identifies mini themes from the story for discussion, suggested questions, and activities to help facilitate a positive attitude to the condition of dementia that affects many families.
