Hello!
My name is Edie Weinstein. I'm originally from Saint Paul, Minnesota. I lived in Dublin for four years while earning my undergraduate degree at University College Dublin in English and linguistics. When I'm not writing or reading, I can be found spending time with people I love, playing with my dog Scout, sea swimming, and skiing on both water and snow.
The Grandfather behind Grandpa and Lucy
I wrote Grandpa and Lucy shortly after the passing of my beloved grandfather. He never lived with dementia, but when I started to learn more about dementia, I realized that it might act as a barrier for other young people to connect with their grandparents. I hope all young people can have the kind of relationship I was lucky enough to have with my grandpa, so I decided to create a tool that would help other young people overcome fear of dementia through empowering education which would allow them to feel more comfortable being with a grandparent living with dementia.
Our Name and Logo
When I created this publishing company, I named it after our beloved dog, Scout, who you see in our logo. Now, our name and logo encompasses my work with Grandpa and Lucy, along with my other writing and photography efforts. Scout is very proud of the company and likes to take naps to express his pride and excitement in Inky Puppy Paw's future.
