The Picture Book of Psalms: A Gift Book for Alzheimer's Patients and Seniors with Dementia (Picture Books)

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. These Psalms are uplifting and reassuring, with the text in highly readable large-print text. Each Psalm is accompanied by a full-page, full-color, inspirational photo. People with dementia often have difficulty with short-term memory, but many of their long-term memories are intact. As your loved one is reminded of these well-known, best-loved Psalms, they may be inspired to talk about their faith and reminisce about time they've spent with their church families. 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.
