Cover
Chocolate Rain, 100 ideas for a creative approach to activities in dementia care was published in January this year (2011) by Hawker Publications, London.
It was previewed and launched at the 5th UK Dementia Congress in Bournemouth very successfully. I also gave a presentation on creativity and communication with people with dementia.
Here is one of the first reviews:
I feel this book should be essential reading for all those involved in dementia care. This is not only because Sarah inspires so much confidence in the reader to try new ideas, but also because she positively encourages a creative approach to communication and activity design.
The book is well thought out and well planned with delightful illlustrations, and full of practical ideas which will meet the needs of people in various stages of dementia.
A long-awaited book – definitely to be recommended.

I am very interested in buying your book Chocolate Rain. I looked on Amazon but it is sold out, how do I get a copy? Thanks, Alexis

Alexis,
Thanks for your interest in my book. The ‘sold out’ notice on Amazon is incorrect, it is because of problems with the publisher’s listing and is being worked on.
In the meantime you can go to my book on Amazon and click on ’4 new’. The first listing, ‘book depository’ is good, we’ve had good experience with them. And if you are in Europe or the UK, you can also order from Hawker Publications, the publisher of the book. Just scroll down on that page to find their order info.
