Books Donated By Generous UHDB Team Member
Thank you so much to Author, Jacqueline Theodosi for donating books to the Children’s Hospitals at Queens and the Derby Royal.
Jacqueline, also a Clinical Photographer for UHDB, was inspired to write by her own children, “Since I was a teen, I had always loved the idea of publishing a book. I have been writing on and off for years, starting and stopping stories, but in 2021, I was inspired by reading to my own children to start writing children’s picture books. At the time, my son was 4 years old, and I was pregnant with my daughter. My son loved dinosaurs, as I know many others do, and this inspired me to write something educational but fun about dinosaurs. Once I finished writing, I approached a publisher and illustrator and within 9 months, my book was published and available to purchase.
Seeing children with my book, is an amazing feeling and it is why I want to write and publish more books for children to enjoy.
Being able to donate my book to my local hospital means so much to me. Not only was I also born at Burton Queens Hospital but so were both my children. It also means a lot being able to donate to children’s A&E at Royal Derby Hospital as my daughter was admitted at 3 weeks old with a bad case of bronchiolitis and the staff on A&E, as well as Dolphin ward and PCCU, really looked after us and supported my family throughout the week we were in hospital.”
