Dressed in Peace by Ny M Jones

Dressed in Peace by Ny M Jones

This wonderful tale follows Ali-en, the alien, across earth as he embarks upon various ceremonial dressed people, who to him appear quite strange. As he explores and enquires further he comes to realise they all have a common goal and common feature. This wonderful picture book offers both non and early readers an introduction into different religious backgrounds and cultures. Unlike other books of this kind it does not alienate a reader who is not of, nor share the experiences of the discussed religion; neither does it discourage or encourage religious preference. The rhyming pattern and repetitive theme provides enjoyment and encourages joining in by all, making this book a fantastic teaching aid or personal entertainment.

Jones, Ny M. M.: - Born in East London, Ny M Jones is the middle child of a large family. In 2006, after finishing studies in Psychology, Media, English Literature and a desire to be a Dentist, a brief period of unemployment would find her securing her first role and the start of a lengthy career in Learning and Development. Despite the extreme career change, it is here that Ny developed an even greater passion for helping and influences others, and learnt the power within her ability to creatively adapt every day scenarios in order to contextualise information for different audiences. After the birth of her first child in 2009 she opted for a more greener setting to grow her family. With aspirations to still achieve Ny returned back to work when he was 1 year's old, securing herself a role as one of the youngest Training Managers covering over 50% of the London Boroughs. After reaching various levels of success in her role, a change in government funding would leave Ny transferring to a lesser role, subsequently followed by a range of unfulfilling jobs. On the 11th Feb 2016, a breakfast morning show had announced a competition for the Next Big Children's Author with a very attractive prize, at the time only requesting a manuscript. The journey to work that proceeded would see the birth of her first title Dressed in Peace. However, after reviewing the terms and conditions, Ny was not willing to hand over the rights to her new baby. For almost a year she would contact and search illustrators, but none seemed to fit the tone of the book and those that could were far beyond her budget. For over a year the pages sat in the draw of her home study. In 2017 Ny welcomed the arrival of her second child. It was then she began to utilise the time that had become available to her to self-illustrate. 96 images later, a lot of Youtube videos, blog forums and sleepless nights. She is honoured to share the first of many books to come.
