This series of Picture Books focuses on NATURE, HOME and HOBBIES.
Familiar experiences and everyday subjects that are easy to recognise and chat about.
Oranges and Lemons is a themed Picture Book about orange and yellow colours and the homely practice of cooking and preserving marmalade. The visitation of children’s groups to aged care facilities is well recognised for the joy and well-being experienced by people in care. To support this, some pictures of children playing are included in this book. Short visual stories include:
* various citrus fruit growing
* squeezing oranges to make juice
* step-by-step photos of a lady making marmalade
* small children enjoying orange and yellow balloons
* beautiful flowers in orange and yellow.
This Picture Book is free of text and allows the reader to engage with individual images or follow sequences of a familiar activity to further support enjoyment and reminiscence. The landscape orientation is a natural, relaxing viewing perspective, and is often used for photo books. The images are intended to facilitate social identity and memory stimulation through recognition of familiar subjects and experiences.
This Soft Cover Edition is light weight for easy handling and is printed on matte finish paper to avoid distracting reflections. It is designed to support memories of familiar past experiences for elderly people and people with Alzheimer's disease, dementia and memory loss. It can be used as an Activity Resource for Carers, Activity Coordinators, Therapists, and Family Members to share with an Individual in Care.
