Memories are like vanilla crescents – sweet, delicate, and fragile. Als meine Oma beschloss zu vergessen ("When My Grandma Decided to Forget") is the debut novel by young author Rosa Schaberl, inviting readers into a world brimming with small stories and sweet details of everyday life with a grandmother slowly retreating into her own reality. Told through the eyes of a child, the author shares the growing loss of time and family, immersing readers in a world filled with vanilla crescents and love. Rosa Schaberl’s ability to blend emotional depth with poetic language in a way that resonates with young readers makes this book a profoundly moving reading experience.
This book explores the theme of dementia with poetic sensitivity and empathy, and is written for children aged six and up.


A heartfelt children's book by Rosa Schaberl, illustrated by Frau Isa.
