A CAERPHILLY mum has written a book to help children understand loss. Jess Childs, who was born in Hay-on-Wye and lives in Machen and is a mum of two, has used her own experiences to inspire the book – her debut and the first in a series. Ivy and the Rock is a picture book that looks at what it means to lose a loved one in an honest, child-friendly way and follows young character Ivy Jones on her adventures in the Wildest Wood. The book developed from a poem that Ms Childs originally wrote in 2006 and was read out at her father’s funeral after he took his own life. In 2020, the book became more poignant after her mum Olwen died in November after a five-year battle with cancer.
