Picture books and children’s stories often stimulate memories for Alzheimer’s patients. Sometimes reading from a book on a particular topic will initiate conversation and communication.
I mentioned that many of today’s Alzheimer’s patients lived during the World War II/Pearl Harbor years or have relatives who did. They may like to discuss these times, if even only intermittently. What they have to say will give you insight into your family history.
To find some children’s and YA books that give you more information and might help stimulate memories, visit my One Book Two Book page.
