Review "As I work in a senior's residence and CHSLD/long-term care and housing center 40-hours a week, I see the effects of aging on many levels. I also see how different approaches can make great strides to reaching people. The population is aging and therefore having more resources available for seniors is an asset. So far, Jamie's senior fiction project has been well-received at my place of work. He is hoping that by spreading the word about the project, that more seniors can be touched by these books which can have a positive impact on their lives, especially if they are someone who has loved to read all their life and is now faced with difficulty when it comes to reading. These senior fiction books are written so that seniors can read them by themselves. However, with their short chapters (six per book), they also make for an easy read for someone who might need something to do with a senior, for example a visiting family member who is seeking an activity to do with a family member with declining memory. The simple wording also makes it possible for children to read them to family members. Books have a way of bringing together generations and I strongly believe that this senior's fiction project is one way that this is possible. Currently seniors in my workplace have had the opportunity to see Jamie's first senior's fiction book Trip to the Lake in their activity baskets. This tool can help to make a positive difference in their lives." - Le Felix Journal
