Color Your Mind: A Coloring Book for Those with Alzheimer's and the
People Who Love is an innovative book filled with both information
and inspiration. In a category all its own, Color Your Mind is
the first and only coloring book created specifically for people with
Alzheimer's.
Authored by award-winning journalist, best-selling author, and
Alzheimer's advocate Maria Shriver, this book was developed with
insights from caregivers, neurologists, psychologists, and, of course,
people with Alzheimer's. Color Your Mind is a resource for caregivers,
family, and friends to help forge communication and connection with
people with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia.
Each coloring page is accompanied by relevant information and prompts to
help people with Alzheimer's and their caregivers to create, connect,
and reflect. Color Your Mind is unique in that it connects coloring
with helpful information about wellness, social connection, nutrition,
exercise, moving the mind, and sleep--all valuable lessons for a
fulfilling, balanced life.
The activities, images, and approach in Color Your Mind were developed
and refined through visits to nursing homes and memory care facilities.
These visits and interactions also informed the selection of cheerful,
inspiring coloring images throughout the book.
