SHORT & SNAPPY PICTURE BOOKS

Series' Description:

Short & Snappy Picture Books are travel-size photo picture books. They are ideal for use as conversation-starters, memory-joggers and engaging entertainment when visiting family members or friends with dementia or other debilitating conditions in care homes, hospitals or in their own homes. 

Short & Snappy Picture Books feature themed image collections of beautiful plants, stunning natural scenes, and everyday urban and rural sights photographed by Sandra Morton in the British Isles. The 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. These books make great gifts as there is no mention of "illness, age, or cognitive impairment" anywhere inside the books or on the covers.

Gorgeous Garden Flowers

Look Inside:

Book Description

Gorgeous Garden Flowers is Book 1 in the Short & Snappy Picture Books series – it 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 (see the 'Look Inside' images for examples). This book will appeal to dementia patients, seniors and invalids who previously enjoyed floristry, gardening or visiting gardens and parks but now have limited opportunity to experience these activities.

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.
