The Children's E-Hospital

I write stories and create illustrations for the Children's E-Hospital to help children understand medical problems such as PANS/ PANDAS and Coronavirus. I will be working alongside the Children's Executive Board to develop stories and resources.

Mindfully Creative Project
​
​This project 2019-2020 was a National Lottery Funded creative project, with the Mountain Movers Education Charity. Sessions combined mindfulness and resilience with creativity. 
Forever A Star
​
​Share A Star charity helps severely unwell children and teenagers by sending them perspex personalised stars. The children and young people are special "stars." If a star passes away, they become a Forever Star and the charity sends out special tributes to each child. I helped the project by illustrating the children who have passed away. It was a complete honour for me to illustrate the children and young people.

Reviews

Through tear filled eyes. This is the most significant and important children's book that I've ever read. I'll treasure these words for a long time. What a beautiful gift to be able to give a child. Every child should have access to this book. What a truly gorgeous read." Jemma Buntin. 

"Knowing the context and inspiration for this book, it is both heart-breaking, soul-taking but ultimately a force of positivity. Ffion Jones specialises in writing books to help children work through difficult life issues, including the challenging subject of child bereavement. But should challenging issues, especially where children are concerned, be hidden away in a dark and unspoken place? Never! Stories must be told and inspirational lives must be held up high, for all to see." Dale Neal.

"This is a beautifully written book that deals with sensitive issues and emotions in a supportive and gentle way that will help families and children cope with the loss of a loved one. The illustrations are stunning and can be used to generate conversations within families and help children to explore their feelings and emotions. We are very fortunate to have this book in our school to help pupils who are dealing with illness or loss within their family. We are using it during Thrive and Elsa sessions and will read a little at a time, allowing the child time to talk about what is happening and how they feel. It has supported children in our school to talk about their own experiences and help them to understand that it's ok to feel a range of emotions. I honestly cannot recommend this book enough and feel that every school should have it to support those children who may are dealing with illness and grief within the family." Jenny Caddy.
