Description
This book features beautifully colorized vintage photos of some of the biggest stars of the silver screen! 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. Paging through this beautiful book with your loved one is an activity that will capture their attention, engage their mind, and encourage them to relax. It features meticulously restored and colorized photos of some of Hollywood's biggest stars along with a large-print list of three of their most famous movies. People with dementia often have difficulty with short-term memory, but many of their long-term memories are intact. Some of the most memorable things a person has experienced are the movies they’ve seen. Thumbing through these photos may inspire them to reminisce about times gone by. You’ll find other picture books out there, mostly for kids. But it’s demeaning for seniors to give them books meant for children. And 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 and the minimal text accompanying them. 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 contains carefully-curated, high-resolution, colorized photos depicting the glamour of Hollywood movie stars of the mid-20th century. • Minimal Text The only text included in the book is the name of each movie star along with three of their most famous movies. • Manageable Size This is a 40-page, 6” x 9” softcover book 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.

Our books can be given to your loved one without fear that they might feel embarrassed or offended.
