Mum reading to me is one of my favourite childhood memories.

I created these books for my Mum. She has always loved reading.

As she got older and reading became harder, I wanted to find a way for to still share our love of books.

Dementia-Friendly Books use clear images and short sentences. She reads a line or two, pauses, and then we talk.

It is not about reading perfectly. It is about being together.

A thoughtful gift…

The most meaningful gifts are the ones you share.

When visiting a loved one, whether at home or in aged care, every visit is different. Some are full of conversation and laughter. Others are quieter, and it can be harder to find a way in.

Bringing a simple activity to share can create that connection.

Reading a page or two together offers a natural starting point. It can spark conversation, or simply provide a calm moment side by side.

It also allows you to express things that do not always come up in everyday conversation, helping your loved one feel seen, valued and special.
