Color Your Mind

A Coloring Book for Those with Alzheimer's and the People Who Love Them



From bestselling author and Alzheimer's advocate Maria Shriver comes the first coloring book created for brain health and people with Alzheimer's.
This interactive coloring book is filled with inspiration and information that was developed in partnership with neurologists, psychologists, caregivers, and, of course, people with Alzheimer's. Each coloring page also features prompts to help people with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers create, connect, and reflect.
Color Your Mind combines coloring with useful brain health tips about:

   • Nutrition
   • Exercise
   • Social Connection
   • Sleep
   • ...and other valuable lessons for a fulfilling, balanced life.  

The activities, images, and approach in Color Your Mind were developed and refined through visits to nursing homes and memory care facilities. These visits and interactions also informed the selection of cheerful, inspiring coloring images throughout the book.
