Hi there!

My grandmother is in her 90s and she’s always been a massive reader. But with strokes, vision issues, and working memory, even easy-read audiobooks have become a struggle to utilize fully and enjoyably.

One day I sent her Have You Ever Seen A Flower on a whim (because I love it so much) and she loves going through the picture books now! She’s still sharp and semi-independent, so it doesn’t need to be overly simplistic.

I’m looking for some books to reserve for her at the library that fit the following specs:

*generally dark, generally large print

*art that can be appreciated by an adult rather than simply cute characters or fun themes (mo willem, even frog and toad)

Some that she’s enjoyed recently:

*Have You Ever Seen A Flower by Shawn Harris (seems to be the favorite so far and what actually got her into them!)

*Farmhouse by Sophie Blackall

*Acorn was a little wild by Jen Arena and illus. By Jessica Gibson

I have a few that I think would be fun like “a walk in the words” and “how to eat a book” but I’d love to hear other options! Especially any (much) older options!
