To help them stay calm in the midst of an emotional reaction? To find activities you can share with them that encourage peaceful interaction?\n\nThis book can help.\n\nThumbing through this beautiful picture book with your loved one is an activity that will capture their attention, engage their mind, and encourage them to relax. Seeing these delightful photos of happy, cheerful children and adults who are smiling and laughing is sure to put a smile on their face.\n\nYou’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.\n\nAt 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.\n\nFamilies, 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.\n\nFEATURES\n\n• Beautiful Content\n\nThis book is filled with carefully-curated, full-color, high-resolution photos of happy, joyful people.\n\n• No Text\n\nThe only text included in the book is on the title and copyright page.\n\n• Manageable Size\n\nThis is a 40-page, 6” x 9” softcover that’s comfortable to hold and easy to tuck into a bag.\n\n• High Quality\n\nThe 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.\n\n• Discreet Packaging\n\nAt no time is anything mentioned about Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or any other challenges the reader might be facing. This book can be given as a gift to your loved one without fear that they might feel embarrassed or offended.\n\nNOTES FOR CAREGIVERS\n\n• Sit beside your loved one in a quiet place that is free of distractions.\n\n• Allow them to hold the book if possible, and also turn the pages, which will enable them to become more engaged in the book.\n\n• Put a pillow in their lap to support the book as you thumb through it together.\n\n• Leave this book in an accessible place to allow your loved one to pick it up on their own when you’re not there.\n\nClick the “Sunny Street Books” link beneath the title of the book on this page to access links to the other titles in our Picture Books series:\n\nThe Picture Book of Birds\nThe Picture Book of Natural Wonders\nThe Picture Book of Gardens\nThe Picture Book of Butterflies\nThe Picture Book of Movie Stars\nThe Picture Book of Cats\nThe Picture Book of Dogs\nThe Picture Book of Bible Verses\nThe Picture Book of Hymns\nThe Picture Book of Flowers\nThe Picture Book of Brides\nThe Picture Book of Babies\nThe Picture Book of BeachesThe Picture Book of Horses\nThe Picture Book of Baby Animals\nThe Picture Book of Kids and Animals\nThe Picture Book of American Patriotism\nThe Picture Book of Churches\nThe Picture Book of Kittens\nThe Picture Book of Majestic Mountains\nThe Picture Book of Beautiful Bridges\nThe Picture Book of Castles\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1687220026\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1687220026.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Books, Sunny Street\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
