Happy New Year to You!
A Read-Aloud Book for Memory-Challenged Adults

By Lydia Burdick

"Read and share this amazing heart-touching book … it will make everyone happier, wiser, and better equipped to communicate."
–Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of #1 New York Times best-selling series Chicken Soup for the Soul® and co-author of Cracking the Millionaire Code and The One Minute Millionaire

“A wonderful way to engage with a memory-impaired adult.”
–Peter Rabins, M.D., M.P.H., Professor of Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and co-author of The 36-Hour Day

"Lydia Burdick’s book series is fulfilling an unmet need for reading materials for older persons with memory problems. Our research indicates that these are the kinds of reading materials which these persons may prefer to read at some point in the course of their condition."
–Barry Reisberg, M.D., Clinical Director, Silberstein Aging and Dementia Research Center, New York University School of Medicine

"With her unique books, Lydia Burdick brings families closer together––she helps bridge the chasm created by senile dementia."
–David Shenk, author of The Forgetting: Alzheimer’s, Portrait of an Epidemic

"An enchanting way to instantly create closeness, spark recognition, and share moments of joy with a memory-challenged loved one."
–Jacqueline Marcell, author of Elder Rage, and host of Coping with Caregiving radio program

"It was exciting to see the second Two-Lap Book™. I shared this book with patients and caregivers at my nursing home and assisted living facility, and it was met with uniform excitement."
–Bernard A. Roos, M.D., Professor, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and Director, the Stein Gerontological Institute at the Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged

"Lydia Burdick invites you to come alongside your loved one through the joy of the spoken word and the warmth of the printed page. She guides you in embracing hope and opening a window when the light dims along our human journey."
–Luella Nabors, Executive Director, Brighton Gardens of Oklahoma City, OK

"This version takes the uniquely effective model from the first book and adds the elements of reminiscing about holidays … I think the ability to share memories about special family times will have value for the caregivers as well as the patients."
–Rosemary Laird, M.D., M.H.S.A., Medical Director, Health First Aging Institute, Cocoa Beach, FL
