In working with his 86-year-old mother, who was in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's disease, author Eliezer Sobel discovered something astounding. Although she could not speak full sentences or follow a story line, his mother could read, and would sit in rapt attention as she paged through magazines and coffee-table books. That is why he wrote Blue Sky, White Clouds. A simple picture book with large, easy-to-read type, this is a perfect fit for any loved one who has Alzheimer's or dementia.
