SHORT & SNAPPY PICTURE BOOKS

Travel-size Photo Picture Books for Adults in Paperback and eBook Editions 

 

Short & Snappy Picture Books are ideal for use as conversation-starters, memory-joggers and entertainment when visiting elderly family members or friends in care homes, hospitals or in their own homes. The books will appeal to nature-loving adults, seniors, dementia patients and invalids who may be confined indoors and unable to experience the outdoors first-hand.

Short & Snappy Picture Books feature themed image collections of beautiful plants and stunning natural scenes photographed by Sandra Morton and published under her pen name of Sarah Innins. The 40-page paperbacks are similar in size and feel to children's picture books – they are short, small and easy to handle, relaxing to view, have no distracting descriptive sections, and are in landscape orientation which provides a fuller and more engaging experience. They make great gifts as there is no mention of "illness, age, or cognitive impairment" anywhere inside the books or on the covers.

Book Description

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Gorgeous Garden Flowers is the first book in the Short & Snappy Picture Books series (see above for series' details) and is available as an eBook or in paperback. It is a colourful collection of close-up photographs showcasing the beauty and intricate detail of 42 popular garden flowers which are unobtrusively named on each page.  

The travel-size paperback edition is 8.25” x 6” (20.96 x 15.24 cm). It is in landscape, rather than portrait, orientation as this provides a fuller, contextual view of the flowers, leaves and surrounding vegetation. The photographs were taken by Sandra Morton in her apartment garden in Devon and across the south of England, from Cornwall to Kent.

Gorgeous Garden Flowers is not a heavy, glossy and expensive coffee table photography book – it is more like a children’s paperback picture book in that it is light and portable so is easily held and carried by frail hands. The book is engaging and relaxing to look at, and with only 40-pages and no distracting text sections, is not overwhelming. It is ideal as a gift or Christmas stocking stuffer as there is no mention of "illness, age, or cognitive impairment" anywhere inside the book or on the cover.

The paperback is printed by Amazon on the same premium paper used for children's picture books. The eBook edition, which is available through several digital book distributors, is formatted for viewing single pages in landscape orientation.
