This is one of a series of books for dementia patients (or those with Alzheimer's), disguised as a "real" book. What the Wind Showed to Me offers self-esteem and self-confidence to former bookworms who now struggle with "normal" books. You'll know that you're buying a book that is perfect 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 truly concealed 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.
What the Wind Showed to Me is the story of what one woman discovers while following the floating path of a beautiful feather caught in a breeze. It is a pleasant, comforting and interesting story. Offer not only a book to be cherished, but also the gift of self-pride.
Review
"Exceptional series that promotes pride in book ownership for seniors with reading struggles. Happy, upbeat and superb short stories with remarkably vivid photographs." - Faye Dunningham

From the Inside Flap
WHAT THE WIND SHOWED TO ME follows the story of a woman who expects to have a ho-hum day. But she finds that if you just take a closer look, surprises and beauty can be seen everywhere.
It all begins when a breeze picks up a feather and brings her along on an enlightening journey.
If you are an adult bookworm who is looking for an interesting read or a book lover that enjoys a book that can be read over and over, this book is for you.
It is hoped that you find this book worthy of adding to your collection.
Enjoy your read!
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
