Our Story: Why I Write Inclusive Children's Books

My journey into writing children's books began with my incredible daughter, Kya, who is autistic. Her unique perspective and resilience inspired me to share her story and raise awareness about autism.

Witnessing her experiences made me realise the importance of fostering understanding and empathy for individuals with autism and disabilities. Each story explores different aspects of these themes, highlighting the strengths, challenges, and unique perspectives of the characters.

In addition to writing, I support charities that align with my mission of promoting inclusivity and understanding. I donate a large percentage of my royalties to organisations like Scope, Dogs for Autism, and Dogs for Good. These charities work tirelessly to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities, and I am proud to support their efforts.

Our Story: Why I Write Inclusive Children's Books

Anna Kennedy OBE

Autism Advocate

Jon has created a beautiful book in praise of his amazing daughter. The illustrations are captivating and I love the way it highlights the world through the eyes of a young person on the autism spectrum.

Alex Lowery

Autistic Public Speaker

'Through the Eyes of Me' is a great children's book that looks at what life is like for Kya as a young autistic girl. It's done in a simple, easy to follow and extremely positive way that could be helpful to other autistic children and many children in general to simply understand autism.

Prof. Tom Shakespeare

Disability Researcher

An orchestra has many instruments that harmonise together to create a wonderful sound. Humans each have strengths and weaknesses, but we need them all to create a vibrant world. This book beautifully demonstrates that.
