Summer Reading - I Like Your Face

I'm very happy today to share with you about another new book from Kids Can Press - I Like Your Face, written by Brad Davidson and illustrated by Rachel Mas Davidson.

Favorite Features -

• I LOVE the illustrations! They beautifully show fun, imagination, family, friends, love, kindness, acceptance and add to the book in the most wonderful way!
• I especially appreciate a story which holds up the value and importance of friendship and acceptance. Our children - and the adults we know - need more books like this.
• Encourages important conversations about emotions, acceptance, friendship, love, kindness, and commitment.

Kids Can Press says, "For fans of My Best Friend and Tough Guys (Have Feelings Too) – a sweet story about what it feels like to have a best friend.

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 which 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."

I Like Your Face is a book which is sure to be loved by the children you love. You might consider involving them in making a book of their own about them and a best friend - they (and you) could draw your own book or take photos to make your own book - great way to have important conversations as you work on the project together - and enjoy I Like Your Face together!
