Color Your Mind cover

From bestselling author and Alzheimer's advocate Maria Shriver comes the first coloring book created for brain health and people with Alzheimer's. This interactive coloring book is filled with inspiration and information that was developed in partnership with neurologists, psychologists, caregivers, and, of course, people with Alzheimer's. Each coloring page also features prompts to help people with Alzheimer's and their caregivers create, connect, and reflect. Color Your Mind combines coloring with useful brain health tips about: - Nutrition - Exercise - Social Connection - Sleep - ...and other valuable lessons for a fulfilling, balanced life. The activities, images, and approach in Color Your Mind were developed and refined through visits to nursing homes and memory care facilities. These visits and interactions also informed the selection of cheerful, inspiring coloring images throughout the book.

"Out of the countless coloring books being sold today, 'Color Your Mind' is truly one of a kind." -- the Today Show, NBC "This coloring book fills an unmet need and it can facilitate meaningful time and interactions between people with Alzheimer's, their family members, and caregivers." -- Dr. Richard Isaacson, Director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic, Cornell Medical College "The thought and work that has gone into it are very obvious. It's so important to find activities that can be engaging for family members and patients. It's very well done and I can see the care, concern and beauty coming through on this project!" -- Robin Ketelle, Cognitive Psychology, Emotion, Developmental Psychology R.N., University of California, SF I am very impressed with the layout of the book. The creative ideas, formats, and the simple yet captivating projects are adequate for the clients you are reaching out to. Color Your Mind allows for individual creativity and it also encourages care-givers and families to become involved. Bonding through coloring, drawing, music, crafting, laughing, as well as, a positive sense of humor provide an unthreatening atmosphere for dementia, or Alzheimer's patients to live, love and flourish." -- Sister Conchessa Johnston, Director at Memory Care Center, University of The Incarnate Word
