Down by the meadow

Sparrow, Emma Rose
Genre: 
This is one of a series of books for dementia or Alzheimer's patients, seniors with trouble reading and others who would benefit with 'easy read' books that are formatted for adults. Down by the Meadow offers self-esteem and self-confidence to former bookworms who now struggle with "regular" books. You'll know that you're buying a book that is easy for a dementia or Alzheimer's patient to read, however your loved one will only know that he/she is receiving a beautiful book that is eye-catching and easy to follow. Neither the title nor any text on or in the book states that the book is for dementia or any type of memory/cognitive problems; It is truly concealed so that the reader is not insulted. This book and others in the series have been created so that a senior can receive a book that they can actually read and enjoy, that is 'disguised' as a real book via formatting and adult words. This book contains: A lovely "easy read" story without condescending childlike words. Perfect, slightly larger text (16x font). 7 Short chapters. Short paragraphs. One extra space between each sentence to encourage the mind to take pause. 2 to 3 gorgeous full-color photos per each chapter to give a visual clue to the subject matter without distracting the read. Down by the Meadow is a light, happy read that centers on a woman's urge to see something, anything new. She heads down by the meadow, allowing the reader to experience magnificent sunny meadow views, a darling young sparrow bird, breathtaking wild Red Campion flowers and a deer with her fawn. Upon returning, she finds both an appreciation for the comfort of the 'same old, same old' and a renewed joy for what Mother Nature has to offer.
