The Sunshine on My Face: A Read-Aloud Book for Memory-Challenged Adults: A lovely picture book, big enough to fit across two laps. Each page features a single sentence beginning with the words "I love" and then describes a universally pleasant experience, such as, "I love to take a nap in the afternoon."
For those in the middle and later stages of Alzheimer’s here’s a
book that can penetrate the fog of the disease. The author’s experience
when first sitting down and reading it with her own mother resulted in conversation
and a connection with words, when there had been no connection before.
In a USA Today article, the reporter wrote, "Roberta Moore of San Francisco,
who cares for her 90-year-old mother with mid- to late-stage Alzheimer's, at
first thought the book was too ‘childish.' But as soon as Ethel Weinstein
sat next to Moore to read it, she began a running commentary. ‘This looks
so cozy,' Weinstein said when she saw an elderly couple watching TV under ‘the
big, cozy blanket.' On the page extolling the joys of pie and ice cream, she
smacked her lips."
The Sunshine on My Face reflects insight into the disease, personal experience
and a means of reaching the tender memories that lurk deep within the mind of
the Alzheimer’s patient. Though simple in form, the book is deep in concept
– one that you will both enjoy each time you share it.
