The Memory Box & Charlotte’s Big Surprise
A children’s story designed to be used again and again.
When someone a child loves begins to forget, children notice. They may not have the words yet, but they feel the change—in repeated stories, mixed‑up moments, or visits that suddenly feel different.
The Memory Box & Charlotte’s Big Surprise were created for those moments. This book is more than a story. It is a gentle conversation tool that helps adults talk with children about memory changes in ways that feel safe, honest, and reassuring—without fear or clinical language.

Book Reviews
I read the book “Family & Professional Guardianship” by Homer L. Hartage and found it very helpful. I liked that the author explains the complicated topic of guardianship in a clear way that I can understand. He used real-life examples to illustrate the different scenarios that can arise during the guardianship process.
I found it very helpful that the book also discusses the different types of guardianship, such as family guardianship and professional guardianship, and their pros and cons, which can help (me) (people) decide which type is best for the situation. I highly recommend this book because it’s informative and provides valuable insights and guidance for both family members and professionals.

After reading this book, I have a full understanding of guardianship. This book broke down the steps for me to understand what I need to do to seek guardianship, and it provided resources on how to do it.
This book is absolutely amazing and provides all the knowledge of successfully taken care of a loved one through a guardianship program or being a guardian yourself. Thank you so much.

I met Homer Hartage in 1990 and my first impression still holds true – Homer Hartage is a man who cares about people. Family and Professional Guardianship endeavors to help not only people who are unable to take care of themselves but also those who care for them. Knowledge is power and whether you are seeking this information for personal or professional use, this is a comprehensive source for you.
The book is written in clear, precise language that does not require legal knowledge to understand. The book is organized in a logical, easy-to-follow format and gives case studies which show how the process works. If you need information about guardianship practices in Florida, this is the book for you.

This is a good resource for those who want to gain a better understanding of the legal and practical issues concerning guardianship in Florida. I liked the level of details on the various types of guardianship and the entire process, from determining incapacity to the appointment of guardians.
Overall, the guide is direct and well-organized, with plenty of practical advice that should be helpful to families seeking guardianship services or those interested in becoming guardians.

My writings are to ensure that no life is reduced to just paperwork, no story disappears without being told, and no family is left navigating responsibility alone.
My work resonates with caregivers, families, professionals, and anyone who believes that memory, dignity, and responsibility are essential. My book catalog includes trade and children’s books.
