Brushie

By Heidy Rodriguez

My Brushie is a tender, beautifully illustrated story that brings comfort to families navigating restless nights. Told through the eyes of a preschooler, this heartfelt tale follows the soothing bond between a child and their beloved "brushie" - a soft, fuzzy companion that brings calm during scratchy, sleepless nights. With warmth and whimsy, My Brushie celebrates the power of mindfulness, everyday rituals, and the small comforts that make a big difference. Perfect for parents, caregivers, and little ones who know the eczema struggle all too well.

Heidy Rodriguez is an author from Los Angeles who grew up between Koreatown and the South Bay, raised on thrift store gems and bedtime Guatemalan cuentos- stories. She writes to honor the power of memory, everyday magic, and the kind of

resilience you build between a good dance break and a home-cooked meal.

Her debut children's book is inspired by her bicultural Puerto Rican and Guatemalan children.
