A new children’s book exploring dementia and emotional responses
'Dancing with Emotions is a touching exploration into the emotional world of those living with dementia, crafted with love and insight by Sally Yule, in collaboration with Professor Ralph Martins and renowned chef Maggie Beer. This beautifully rendered book brings to life the story of Lucy, a woman navigating the complexities of dementia while cherishing the unwavering support of her family and friends.
Through Lucy’s eyes, readers will experience the unpredictable waves of emotions and the profound impact of understanding, patience, and love. This story not only sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals with dementia but also celebrates their resilience and spirit. Dancing with Emotions is not just a book but a beacon of hope and support for the dementia community.'
