LOS ANGELES , CA, UNITED STATES, February 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In celebration of National Caregiver Day, multihyphenate performing artist, actor, filmmaker, producer, and entrepreneur Cerelina Proesl is shining a light on caregivers in her debut children’s book, The Famous Mavis Davis (Genius Cat Books; On-sale April 29, 2025; Ages 4-8; $17.99, ISBN 978-1-962447-25-6). This heartwarming picture book pays homage to the inspiring caregivers who pour love, energy, and dedication into the families they serve while teaching children invaluable lessons about gratitude, growth, and gaining independence.

The Famous Mavis Davis tells the story of Mavis Davis, a rockstar caregiver who transforms everyday moments into magical adventures. Mavis leaves an indelible mark on every child she cares for. But when Mavis prepares to move on to a new family, her current charge, Leon, struggles to accept the change. Determined to keep his beloved nanny, Leon reverts to babyish antics and even performs Peter Pan-like stunts to avoid growing up. The book not only celebrates caregivers but also highlights the powerful bonds they form with children and their essential role in nurturing independence.

Through vibrant illustrations and lively storytelling, The Famous Mavis Davis shines a light on the unsung heroes who bring stability and joy to families everywhere. This empowering story is a must-read for children and the “village” that helps raise them, offering an uplifting reminder of the profound impact of kindness and connection.

“At its heart, The Famous Mavis Davis is about love, gratitude, and the incredible caregivers who shape us,” stated Cerelina Proesl. “I wanted to create a story that celebrates their tireless efforts while helping children understand the beauty of growing up and embracing change.”

All proceeds from the book will be donated to a children’s charity.
