SynopsisBuy your loved one a simplified but enjoyable story, specially written for people with Dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or rehabilitating after a Stroke. Perfect for anyone facing challenges with memory or concentration but who still wants to be treated as an adult. Presented as 'normal' 6x9 inch paperback book with a modern cover that looks similar to those used on James Patterson novels. What can be more perfect than enjoying a summer's day at the beach? Enjoy the sunlight on your face, the feeling of soft sand under your toes and the gentle surf in this story full of happy memories and experiences. There is no mention of dementia anywhere on the cover or inside the book, so no indication to the reader that this is in anyway a 'special needs' book. Yet inside is where the magic happens. Over 6 chapters our central character explores their day. They meet and talk to people and make simple discoveries. An enjoyable and relevant story is told. Each chapter starts with a photograph that is relevant to the story and gives the reader with a helpful visual prompt. Short paragraphs are used with easy to read 16 point large print.

They understand the enjoyment that can be gained from the simplicity of everyday events and the calming effect of a satisfying ending. The aim is always the same: to produce books that bring a smile. Real and relevant books give pride and confidence to people with Dementia. Avoid the embarrassment of using Childrens books and choose Senior Fiction instead.
