An Engaging Gift Book for Alzheimer’s Patients and Seniors with Dementia This charming book is filled with colorful, detailed images of all kinds of cats reimagined as mythical characters, hobbyists, travelers, and various working professionals. Where else can you see a cat dressed to serve beer at Octoberfest, put out a fire, tend to his garden, command a board room, or charge into medieval battle? Every image is a delight that's sure to make you smile! You’ll find a lot of other picture books out there, mostly for kids. But it’s demeaning for seniors to give them books meant for children. 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. We’re often asked if someone who doesn't have dementia or other limitations would be interested in our books. According to what our customers tell us, the answer is yes! Everyone loves a picture book about a subject they're interested in. But our books don’t pander to seniors or those with dementia. People of all ages and abilities buy our books because they’re high-quality, engaging, and interesting. FEATURES • Beautiful Content.
