I Like Your Face
Written by Brad Davidson & Illustrated by Rachel Más Davidson
A young boy shares what it feels like to have a best friend by telling his friend how much he likes his face and all the reasons why. His friend’s face is so special he could spot it anywhere, even in a crowd of a million-gazillion people. He knows all the faces his friend makes, like his ”Silly Face“ and his ”Holding-in-a-Fart Face.“ And his friend knows all his faces, too, like his ”I’m-There-For-You Face.“ Because when you have a best friend, you’re never alone.
Brad Davidson’s charming text pairs beautifully with Rachel Más Davidson’s funny, heartwarming illustrations to create a lively picture book that celebrates the joys of true friendship. With different emotions represented on every page, the book is a wonderful tool for social-emotional learning and for helping children recognize facial expressions – a key stage of early childhood development. It has thoughtful character-education lessons on empathy, vulnerability, caring and kindness. This book would make an excellent gift as an expression of love to someone – no matter their age.

Pocket Full of Sads
Written by Brad Davidson & Illustrated by Rachel Más Davidson
Rabbit is SO excited to go fishing with Bear. But Bear’s not feeling up to it. . . . He’s feeling low, like his pocket is full of sads that are weighing him down. Although Bear doesn’t know why he’s feeling this way, Rabbit is sure she can fix it!
Rabbit looks to the internet for advice, but none of the self-help tips seem to help. The friends try meditating, healthy eating, even a new hobby, only to learn that when it comes to having the sads, there’s no easy fix—except, maybe, friendship.
This tender picture book is the perfect primer to help children understand the heavy-hearted sadness that can come out of nowhere. And more importantly, it helps kids and adults be better listeners and more supportive companions to friends dealing with tough feelings. A must have for homes and classrooms alike.
A uniquely humorous approach to sadness, this picture book helps kids understand this big, heavy feeling while encouraging mindfulness and exploring what it means to be a good friend.

Based on Rachel's own experience, this story speaks to the power to communicate outside of spoken language.
The Littlest Food Critic
Written by Debbie Rigaud, Illustrated by Rachel Más Davidson
Little Sebastian has a lot of opinions when it comes to food, so his parents call him their own baby food critic! He even has a personal rating system, from one to five binkies, and he’s prepared to knock off a binky or two if his food is too gooey, doesn’t smell quite right, or is touching other food. When a restaurant outing throws him for a loop, a one-binky review seems inevitable . . . but then his parents save the day and Sebastian realizes the special ingredient they’ve been adding to every meal—one that definitely deserves five binkies!
