This year I was approached by Nicola Graham at Reuben’s Retreat, to create the illustrations for a very special book.

Reuben’s Retreat is a charity that was born in memory of Reuben Michael Graham who tragically passed away aged 23 months.

The children’s picture book was written by Victoria C Trundle of Trundlebooks, and I was asked to create a series of 12 illustrations for the story, based on initial layout ideas by her father, Frank Jones.

The book is now available to buy from the Reuben’s Retreat online store and all proceeds go towards the retreat project - to provide a retreat in the North West of England countryside that will relieve the distress of families and their close friends who have suffered the bereavement of a child or have a child suffering from a life limiting or life threatening illness.
