Author Description

Do you sometimes find it difficult to engage your loved one with dementia? To help them stay calm in the midst of an emotional reaction? To find activities you can share with them that encourage peaceful interaction? This book can help. Paging through this picture book with your loved one is an activity that will capture their attention, engage their mind, and encourage them to relax. These hymns are uplifting and reassuring, with the lyrics in highly readable large-print text. Each hymn is accompanied by a full-page, full-color, inspirational photo. People with dementia often have difficulty with short-term memory, but many of their long-term memories are intact. As your loved one is reminded of the lyrics of these hymns, they may be inspired to talk about their faith and reminisce about time they've spent with their church families.

And adult photography books are usually large and heavy, and they often include long, frustrating paragraphs of text. At Sunny Street Books, we design books specifically for seniors with dementia. They're lightweight yet high-quality, adult in nature, with nothing to distract your loved one from their enjoyment of the photos and the minimal text accompanying them. Families, caregivers, and assisted living staff can share this book with the people they care for. It is also an excellent activity for seniors with Parkinson's disease or recovering from a stroke. Seniors with eyesight or strength challenges who find it difficult to hold a heavy book or read long paragraphs of text will also enjoy this book.
