Synopsis

This is one of a series of books for dementia patients (or those with Alzheimer's), camouflaged as a "real" book. A Sandy Shoreline is the perfect book for dementia patients who now struggle with long paragraphs and may have trouble following a story. It's so difficult when a book lover has to be given a children's book or one labeled as a book for dementia suffers; it takes away pride and self-confidence.

This book - and others in this L3 series- are the answer, as they are specially formatted for dementia patients to follow along while appearing to be a 'real' book. Neither the title nor any text on or in the book states that the book is for dementia or any type of memory/cognitive problems.

If your loved one is overwhelmed by 'normal' books but spry enough to feel offended with books labeled as dementia books or by being a children's book, this is the solution.

This book is formatted with: A lovely "easy read" story without condescending childlike words. Perfect, slightly larger text (16x font). Short chapters. Short paragraphs. One extra space between each sentence to encourage the mind to take pause. One or two vivid color photos per each short chapter to give a visual clue to the subject matter without distracting the read. In addition, all books in this series have adult main characters that the reader will relate to.

The Sandy Shoreline is the story of a woman discovers nature's treasures and wonderful sights along the beach. Each chapter brings another small treat. Readers will be able to feel as if they journeyed to the shoreline themselves, all wrapped up with a pleasant ending. It is an enjoyable and uplifting story with wording for adults (not childlike).

Not only will you be giving a book that your loved one will be proud to have in his/her collection, you are also giving the gift of self-pride.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Emma Rose Sparrow has been a successful writer of non-fiction for over a decade (under an alternate pen name). When both of her parents were diagnosed with dementia, her writing took a new path. Her mother, a lifelong bookworm, reached a point in the disease where she could no longer read the books on her bookshelf. As Emma Rose searched for books that would offer a solution, the only choice was to obtain a children's book or a book that had the words "For dementia patients" written on the cover. How disappointing. So, her answer was to create books for dementia patients herself. This has led to books in 3 levels that have NO text inside or on the cover specifying that they are for dementia patients: Level 3: The reader is able to read 2 to 3 short sentences at a time. Each book contains a 7 chapter story that is interesting and pleasant with a touch of humor thrown in. Large text (16x font). Short chapters. Short paragraphs. One extra space between each sentence to encourage the mind to take pause. One or two vivid color photos per each short chapter to give a visual clue to the subject matter without distracting the read. All books in this series have adult main characters that the reader will relate to. Level 2: Reader does best with one large photo and 1 to 3 short sentences at a time. Each page is independent of the other. Each book in this series focuses on the wonders of a certain color: Orange, red, blue, green, pink, purple, yellow and white. With titles like A Year's Worth of Yellow and A Gathering or Green, the reader will have a full "real" book experience. Images range from elements found close by (the beautiful blue eyes of a Husky puppy) to images from around the globe (the exquisite blue medinas of Morocco). The choice to read or simply marvel at the photos is at the reader's discretion. Level 1: For booklovers who have reached a point of not being able to read words, but still love to hold and flip through a book. These are picture books without text, yet formatted for adults. Covers are designed to suggest that the book is for adults readers (not childlike). The carefully chosen images are magnificently colorful and chosen to hold interest and pique curiosity. Emma Rose Sparrow contributes a portion of her earnings to the National Alzheimer's Association, the world's leading health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research.
