A Bevy of Blue: Picture Book for Dementia Patients, Seniors & Others (Level 2 Book). This is one of a series of picture books for dementia patients (or those with Alzheimer's), adults and seniors that have trouble reading. If your loved one is overwhelmed by 'normal' books but spry enough to feel offended with books labeled as dementia books or by being given a children's book, this is your answer. This book helps those who have a hard time reading in several ways: Each book in this series is themed around one color. A Bevy of Blue has photos featuring beautiful blue elements from around the world. From charming blue mailboxes in Italy to exquisite blue homes in the Yucatan; from the adorable Blue-footed Booby bird to sparkling blue ice caves in Nepal. Those with dementia, Alzheimer's or senior reading struggles can find joy in 'reading' a book that does not need for them to follow a story. *The book is formatted to look like a 'real' book. It is designed for adults, without any child-like wording or features. This allows your loved one to feel proud to own it as part of their book collection. * 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. * This is a nice, good-sized 8.5 x 8.5 square book with 98 pages that is large enough to really be able to take in the photos, without feeling 'huge'. The soft cover makes it easy to hold. This is not a heavy hard-cover, nor it is a 'board book' that seniors can find condescending. *The short picture descriptions are in large 16 px text. There are 1 to 3 short sentences per picture. Within each picture description, the word 'blue' appears 1 time, to keep the reader on track. * Each photo (and short text) is only located on the right page of this book. The reader can focus on one image at a time without distraction. Please note: This is a Level 2 book, which primarily focuses on being a book of photos, along with short accompanying text. If you are looking for purely a picture book without any text at all, please look to the Level 1 books; for 'easy-read' short stories, please look to Level 3 books.

"Bevy knows what's what, and she is the kind of woman you want in your corner. If you don't believe me . . . buy the book." —Whoopi Goldberg "Funny, wise, well-experienced, empathetic, colorful—Bevy brings the spirit of humanity wherever she goes." —Pharrell Williams From the host of the fabulous and popular show Bevelations on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy channel, Bevy Smith’s irreverent and inspiring memoir about learning to live a big, authentic, and unapologetic life—and how you can, too Bevy Smith was living what seemed like a glamorous dream as a fashion advertising executive, blazing a lucrative career for herself in the whitewashed magazine world. She jetsetted to Europe for fashion shows, dined and danced at every hot spot, and enjoyed a mighty roster of lovers. So it came as quite a shock to Bevy when one day, after arriving at her luxury hotel in Milan, she collapsed on the Frette bedsheets and sobbed. Years of rolling with the in-crowd had taken its toll. Her satisfaction with work and life had hit rock bottom. But Bevy could not be defeated, and within minutes (okay, days) she grabbed a notepad and started realizing a truer path—one built on self-reflection and, ultimately, clarity. She figured out how to redirect her life toward meaningful creativity and freedom. In her signature lively and infectious voice (there’s no one like Bevy!), Bevelations candidly shares how she reclaimed her life’s course and shows how we too can manifest our most bodacious dreams. From repossessing her bold childhood nature to becoming her own brand to envisioning her life’s next great destination (which will feature natural hair, important charitable giving, and a midcentury house overlooking the Pacific Ocean), Bevy invites readers along on the route of her personal transformation to reveal how each of us can live our best lives with honesty, joy, and, when we’re in the mood, a killer pair of shoes.
