[ABSTRACT]

There are many books to guide those of us who are caring for patients with dementia. However, there are few books that are written for the person with memory loss. As people’s ability to retain the written word declines, they tend to lose interest in books. At White Oak, we are always on the lookout for picture books that might capture the interest of our residents. However, magazines or coffee table books often fail to engage.

Finally there is a book specifically written for those dealing with memory loss. It is called Blue Sky White Clouds. It consists of 26 different color photos of beautiful images in a light, easily held book. The author, Eliezer Sobel, wrote this book for his mother, who is in the late stages of Alzheimer’s disease. He realized that although she had trouble with language, she was still able to read. Therefore, the book includes very simple captions on each page on the theory that some people will enjoy the ability to read the words and associate them with the images.
