This is one of a series of books for dementia patients (or those with Alzheimer's), camouflaged as a "real" book. A Dusting of Snow offers pride and self-confidence to former bookworms who now struggle with "regular" books.
You'll know that you're buying a book that is ideal for a dementia or Alzheimer's patient, but the reader 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 formatted so that the reader is not insulted.
If your loved one is overwhelmed by 'normal' books but spry enough to feel offended with books labeled as dementia books or by being a children's book, this is your answer.
This book is formatted with: A lovely "easy read" story without condescending childlike words. Perfect, slightly larger text (16x font). Short chapters. Short paragraphs. One extra space between each sentence to encourage the mind to take pause. One or two vivid color photos per each short chapter to give a visual clue to the subject matter without distracting the read.
A Dusting of Snow follows the story of a woman who reluctantly rises to face a wintery day. But she finds that things are a bit more interesting than she had planned. A mysterious trail brings her on a personal journey that allows her to soak in the wonderful discoveries that a snowfall can offer. It is an enjoyable and uplifting story with wording for adults (not childlike).
Not only will you be giving a book that your loved one will be proud to have in his/her collection, you are also giving the gift of self-pride.

About the Author
Emma Rose Sparrow has dedicated herself to producing a line of books for Alzheimer's patients, those with dementia and seniors with reading troubles. The goal? To offer a wide range of 'easy read' books for those who have been bookworms their whole lives.
Seniors with memory issues and reading comprehension should not have to be given children's books or struggle with 'regular' books. There has to be an answer that allows our loved one to maintain pride in a book collection; and this is it.
This goal has led to books in 3 levels that have NO text inside or on the cover specifying that they are for memory impaired individuals, Alzheimer's sufferers or others with reading problems.
Level 1: "No Text" Picture Books
Level 2: Picture Books with Short Text
Level 3: Short Stories with 1 to 3 Photos Per Chapter
