ABOUT BIRDSONG BOOKWORKS
Many people living with dementia retain their ability to read, but may forget what they have read, have a hard time following a plot, or become easily tired. Birdsong books use short sentences, large fonts, high-contrast photos, white space, and other strategies to aid in reading and comprehension. They cover a wide range of uplifting topics that appeal to many different interests. They are crafted with the same care as books for a general audience, and many of our books would make beautiful gifts for anyone.
