Rebecca Foret Books
Books for the feelings we don’t always have words for
Honest books for kids and grown-ups about big feelings, hard days, grief, self-love, and all the beautifully messy parts of being human.

Hi, I’m Rebecca.
Rebecca Foret is an author, artist, entrepreneur, wife, and mom who believes some of the most meaningful things we create come from the lives we’ve actually lived.
A lifelong entrepreneur, Rebecca owns multiple businesses while continuing to follow the creative side of herself that has always been there. She writes about the beautifully complicated parts of being human—motherhood, grief, self-love, big emotions, and learning to give ourselves a little more grace along the way.
Rebecca wrote her first books in 2019, then tucked them away as life moved forward. Years later, she returned to those stories with a new perspective and a renewed desire to create work that feels honest, useful, and deeply human.
Today, Rebecca Foret Books brings together her writing and original watercolor artwork in books for both children and adults, with companion journals and other creative projects designed to encourage reflection, connection, and conversation.
When she isn’t writing, painting, or running her businesses, Rebecca can usually be found playing tennis or pickleball, spending time with her husband, children, and stepchildren—or dreaming up whatever she wants to create next.
At the heart of all her work is a simple belief: our hardest experiences can become something meaningful when we’re willing to be honest about them.
Hover or tap to meet the real RebeccaOkay, the real story.
Rebecca Foret is what happens when creativity, caffeine, questionable impulse control, and Wi-Fi are left unsupervised.
She owns businesses, writes books, paints watercolors, plays tennis and pickleball, raises humans, starts side quests nobody asked for, and has never once met an idea she couldn’t turn into at least six additional projects.
She wrote her first books years ago, tucked them away while life did what life does, and recently decided to bring them back to life.
Naturally, this has escalated.
There are now new books, companion journals, watercolors, an author imprint, ten ISBNs, an Etsy shop, and a personal vendetta against Amazon KDP.
Her hobbies include saying “WAIT—I HAVE AN IDEA,” moving things two pixels to the left, rescuing plants she nearly killed herself, and cycling rapidly between “I’m bored. I need a project.” and “WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY PROJECTS?”
Her business plan is approximately:
Wing it. Figure it out. Make it cute. Sell it.
She is extremely good at figuring things out.
Please stop encouraging her.

Kind Words
What readers and friends are saying.
Words from the friends and readers who know Rebecca best.
Rebecca’s wisdom, insight, and guidance is not generic fluff, but has been forged through her own life experiences. I highly recommend her work, as she has not only been a huge blessing and anchor of truth in my life, but many others as well.
I’ve known Rebecca for 20 years, watching her journey and the way she leans into Jesus is inspiring. Beauty from literal ashes.
Rebecca comes with a wealth of knowledge about life and is very grounded so of course her books are just that.
Rebecca is one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met, with a heart for her family and friends like no other. Her care for those around her is evident in her writing too. So excited to see the books coming from her!
Rebecca is incredible. Her life experiences and self work shapes her approach to relationships. Which continuously challenges me in the best way, teaching me new perspectives and approaches in my own world.
