The Picture Book of Rainbows: A Gift Book for Alzheimer's Patients and Seniors with Dementia

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.

Thumbing through this picture book with your loved one is an activity that will capture their attention, engage their mind, and encourage them to relax. They'll feel a sense of delight and anticipation as they turn the pages to see what spectacular rainbow is next.

You'll find a lot of other picture books out there, mostly for kids. But giving seniors books meant for children is demeaning. 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 themselves.

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.

FEATURES

- Beautiful Content

This book is filled with carefully-curated, full-color, high-resolution photos depicting the beauty and wonder of rainbows.

- No Text

The only text included in the book is on the title and copyright page.

This is a 40-page, 6" x 9" softcover that's comfortable to hold and easy to tuck into a bag.

- High Quality

The quality of this book's cover and its interior design are indistinguishable from books created for other readers. Just because a book is simple and uncomplicated doesn't mean it has to be unattractive, unprofessional, or childish.
