Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau: Land of My Fathers by Michelle Forster
When someone has dementia, traditional books can become incomprehensible and meaningless. This title from the popular range of Pictures to Share books is designed to be accessible and entertaining for anyone with mid to later stage dementia who's first language is Welsh. The book will prompt and help people with dementia, discuss their Welsh culture and memories and what is was like growing up in Wales. The book includes Welsh poetry, hymns, sayings and nursery rhymes. The book has a range of beautiful and powerful pictures and short texts. All the images are powerful and easy to understand, and prompt lots of memories and discussion between those with Alzheimer's or other dementia and their family, friends and carers. Even when people with dementia can no longer hold a conversation they will enjoy looking through the book and studying the pages.
