Children’s picture book ‘My Friend PATCHES: Lost and Found’ by David G. Toussaint will be on display at Explora Books Ltd., Hall 5.1 D59, during Frankfurter Buchmesse 15–19 October 2025, presenting a story of kindness, faith, and community.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 20th Oct 2025 – ‘My Friend PATCHES: Lost and Found,’ a children’s picture book by David G. Toussaint, will be exhibited by Explora Books Ltd. at Hall 5.1 D59 during Frankfurter Buchmesse, the world’s leading fair for the print and digital content industries, taking place 15–19 October 2025.
The book tells the story of a farmer who finds a lost horse and of a young girl who, guided by kindness and belief, chooses to help others rather than herself. Positioned as both a gentle moral tale and a faith-affirming narrative for young readers, the title emphasizes themes of compassion, responsibility, and spiritual blessing without adopting a proselytizing tone.
Explora Books Ltd. will present the title alongside its forthcoming new and revised cover edition, which will be made available on major digital retail platforms, including Amazon and Barnes and Noble, and through other leading digital bookstores worldwide soon. The exhibition at Hall 5.1 D59 places the book before an international audience of publishing professionals, authors, cultural commentators, and educators who gather at the fair to network, discover new content, and evaluate publishing opportunities.
Author David G. Toussaint brings a background in education and community service to the work. A graduate of Asbury University, Toussaint served as a public school teacher and later focused on supporting individuals facing financial hardship through teaching and coaching. His previous titles for teens and adults informed his decision to write for a younger audience; ‘My Friend PATCHES: Lost and Found’ reflects a longstanding interest in stories that combine practical lessons with spiritual reflection. The publication is intended as a resource for families, librarians, and educators seeking age-appropriate material that fosters empathy and moral development.
Early reader response on retail platforms highlights the book’s effectiveness in story time and classroom settings. One young librarian writes that the title is a “constant pick” during community story time, praising its clever approach to kindness. Another reviewer notes that the story “constantly made her smile” while teaching the value of helping others. Several readers commend the book as a succinct and engaging addition to children’s collections that resonates with animal lovers and families alike.
The appearance at Frankfurter Buchmesse offers opportunities for media coverage, library procurement, and educational outreach discussions. Representatives from Explora Books Ltd. will be available at Hall 5.1 D59 to discuss distribution plans, the revised cover edition, and potential partnerships for school and library programs.
