During his lifetime Hooson published only one collection, Cerddi a Baledi, written in the years 1930-36 and published in 1936, but a second collection of his work, Y Gwin a Cherddi Eraill, was published after his death.

Hooson is best known for his poems written for children but he also wrote a Welsh language adaptation of The Pied Piper of Hamelin under the title Y Fantell Fraith, published in 1934.
A stone memorial to him is set on the mountainside along the Panorama, just above the ‘catwalks’ forestry plantation which is part of the Offa’s Dyke Path.
There is a Welsh-language school in Rhos named after him.
