Come and take a fun journey with Healthy Heath and his friends. This book is about kids nutrition, kindness and celebrating individuality. Healthy Heath and his Magic Fruits and Vegetables is written especially for kids and their families. It provides introductory and practical nutritional education to kids, helping them understand all of the food groups.In this book, kids will learn basic nutrition, including protein, carbohydrates, and fats. They will learn which foods belong to each group and their functions. In addition to learning, they will be encouraged throughout the book to eat more fruits and vegetables. As Healthy Heath exemplifies throughout the book, he gets magical powers every time he eats his fruits and vegetables. Despite being teased by some of her classmates and "Billy the Bully" for being so different from the other kids, he continues to be kind, and eat healthy, especially his fruits and vegetables. A surprise classroom visit from Healthy Heath's two Olympic Athlete idols further educates and encourages the children to make healthy food choices.As a parent, one of the challenges with children is often mealtimes. Healthy eating habits begin in the home from a young age, and continue into adulthood. Fun nutrition education from a young age will help kids sustain habits that will last a lifetime. Healthy Heath was written with kids and their parents in mind in order to not only educate them on healthy eating and nutrition, but to encourage them to eat more fruits and vegetables.
