Children’s books
Stories that open conversations about confidence, feelings, friendship, grief, resilience and belonging.
About
Teacher. Author. Creator.
My work is shaped by more than twenty years in education and a belief in the power of stories, reflection and honest conversation.
Hello, I’m Cher Louise Jones. I have worked with children and young people across primary, secondary and SEND settings. Those experiences inform the books and resources I create for children, families and educators.
My work has since grown to include speculative fiction for adult readers and Be Formidable, a developing strand focused on professional and personal growth for teachers.
The work
Different readers. One underlying purpose.
Across every strand, the aim is to create thoughtful work that helps people understand themselves, one another and what might come next.
Free resources
Practical activities for parents, teachers and caregivers supporting children through real experiences.
Adult fiction
Dystopian and speculative stories exploring survival, power, identity and difficult ethical choices.
Be Formidable
Professional and personal growth for teachers: confidence, reflection, resilience, boundaries and purposeful change.
Nurseries, schools and libraries
