The Picture Book of Birds: 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 beautiful picture book with your loved one is an activity that will capture their attention, engage their mind, and encourage them to relax. They'll see backyard birds they'll recognize, as well as more colorful, exotic birds that will delight them. The names of the birds are at the top of each page in large-print text.

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.

FEATURES

Beautiful Content: This book is filled with carefully-curated, full-color, high-resolution photos depicting the beauty and majesty of birds.

Minimal Text: The only text included in the book, except on the title and copyright page, is the name of each bird.

Manageable Size: 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.

Discreet Packaging: At no time is anything mentioned about Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or any other challenges the reader might be facing. This book can be given to your loved one without fear that they might feel embarrassed or offended.

NOTES FOR CAREGIVERS

About the Author

WHO WE ARE

?At Sunny Street Books, we're dedicated to creating books for a special group of readers: seniors with dementia who still find joy in beautiful photos, uplifting stories, and the act of simply holding a book and turning the pages.
?
Our books can also be enjoyed by seniors with eyesight or strength challenges who find it difficult to hold a heavy book or read long paragraphs of text. All our books are softcovers of approximately 40 pages that are comfortable to hold and easy to tuck into a bag.
?
OUR PHILOSOPHY
?
We respect our readers. Therefore, we believe our books should be as beautifully designed as books meant for a more general readership. Our picture books are filled with carefully-curated, high-resolution photos, and our illustrated short stories are written by a professional novelist to be simple and uncomplicated without being childish.
?
THE EXPERIENCE
?
Reading Sunny Street Books is a calming experience that encourages interaction, so it's an excellent activity for seniors with dementia. Caregivers can share our books with those they care for. Children can also interact with a relative with dementia by reading a Sunny Street book to them.

Books from Sunny Street never mention Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or any other challenges the reader may be facing. Our books can be given as gifts without fear that the recipient might feel embarrassed or offended, and the reader can feel comfortable sharing them with a friend.
?
We sincerely hope our books will bring joy and relaxation to you and the people you love.
