Book Description

Christmas is coming, and it can be difficult to find a gift for your mother or other woman in your life who's suffering from dementia. You'd like to give her something that will capture her attention, engage her mind, and encourage peaceful interaction at the same time it says, "I love you." This book may be what you're looking for. It contains full-page photos of happy, loving mothers engaging with their children. On the page opposite each photo is a heartwarming quote about motherhood in large print. While many dementia patients have difficulty with short-term memory, memories of the distant past are more accessible. These photos and quotes may inspire them to talk about their own memories of motherhood and the children they love. 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. 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 short quotes that accompany them.
