Summer (A Season of Memories) is the third in a series of four books highlighting childhood memories from each of the four seasons. Paging through this book is an activity that will capture your loved one's attention, engage their mind, and encourage them to relax.
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 the activities of childhood, they may be inspired to talk about their own childhood or the joy they experienced raising their own children.
The childhood memories included in this book are simple ones that will be familiar to all seniors, such as playing in a treehouse, eating ice cream, swimming, playing baseball, and experiencing the joy of a Fourth of July celebration. Each "memory" is a short, uplifting story of a few sentences in large-print text illustrated by a full-page, full-color photo.
At Sunny Street Books, we design books specifically for seniors with dementia. Families, caregivers, and memory care staff can share our books with the people they care for. They also provide 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 our books.

If you struggle to find gifts for your loved one, this book is the perfect solution.

This is a 40-page, 6" x 9" softcover book that's comfortable to hold and easy to tuck into a bag.
- High Quality
