Product Details

Lucie et son jardin fleuri is a read-aloud book designed specifically for older adults living with cognitive impairment. Written by Nancy Mbatika and published by Éditions Cha Cha Cha, it follows Lucie through her flower garden, exploring a variety of plants and flowers across 32 illustrated pages.

The text uses short sentences and simple vocabulary to support comfortable, fluid reading. The airy layout reduces visual fatigue, and each page includes reminiscence questions and reading tips to help caregivers guide meaningful conversation during the activity. Developed and tested with families and healthcare professionals. Printed in Quebec.

  • Lucie et son jardin fleuri is suitable for older adults living with cognitive impairment who enjoy nature themes and benefit from structured, visual reading activities.
  • Lucie et son jardin fleuri is suitable for family caregivers looking for a gentle, ready-to-use activity that encourages conversation and reminiscence.
  • Lucie et son jardin fleuri is suitable for professional caregivers seeking a validated read-aloud tool for one-on-one or small group settings.

Nature and gardening are among the most universally familiar themes for older adults, often tied to strong long-term memories. Activities that draw on those memories can support mood, communication, and a sense of connection for people living with cognitive impairment.

Lucie et son jardin fleuri was developed with that in mind. The floral theme is warm and accessible, the adapted text removes barriers to participation, and the built-in reminiscence questions give caregivers a structured way to turn a reading session into a genuine moment of exchange. The fact that it was developed and tested with both families and healthcare professionals adds confidence for caregivers who want a purpose-built tool rather than an improvised one. Like all books in this series, it was also printed in Quebec, reflecting a commitment to local quality and durability.
