After Anna's mum who loved reading was diagnosed with dementia, she went on a mission to create a book tailor-made for her. ‘Words Without Stories’ features a squirrel on one page, Big Ben on the next, a vintage steam train on another.
When Sandra retired, her family assumed she’d continue to read in her now bountiful spare time.Her daughter, Anna Smart, told Metro.co.uk: ‘Mum clung onto her love of reading so much that, even at the start of having dementia, she’d pretend to be reading a book. She would be sat with a book upside down in her own little world.
As Sandra's condition worsened, Anna got thinking on what she could do to recover her mum’s love of reading. While the latter does stimulate memories, it is hard for the person reading the book to connect or spur conversations based on the unfamiliar pictures.
