The Picture Book of Sunsets

A Gift Book for Alzheimer's Patients and Seniors with Dementia

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.

Thumbing through this beautiful picture book with your loved one is an activity that will capture their attention, engage their mind, and encourage them to relax. It's filled with spectacular photos of a variety of landscapes awash with the light of setting suns. Your loved one will delight in the splendor and serenity of these images, eagerly turning the pages to see what engaging photo waits for them on the next page.

You'll find a lot of other picture books out there, mostly for kids. But it's demeaning for seniors to give them books meant for children. 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, books that preserve their dignity and enhance their sense of self. Our unique "coffee table" books are lightweight yet high-quality, adult in nature, with nothing to distract your loved one from their enjoyment of the photos themselves. You can rest assured that nowhere in any of our books is there any mention of dementia, Alzheimer's, or any other challenge your loved one may be facing.
