Amazing how Kendall manages to put so many important messages in this fun book. This is not only about food as nourishment but puts eating in broader context of health, emotions, celebration, family, and growing food. I love all the little text blocks with questions that keep children engaged!

This book is a fantastic resource for teaching children about the importance of food and the many roles it plays in our lives. The information is presented in a fun, engaging, and age-appropriate way that was easy for my 5-year-old to understand and enjoy.

Kendall does an excellent job of explaining how food helps our bodies grow, gives us energy, keeps us healthy, and connects us to family, culture, celebrations, and everyday life. I also like the colourful illustrations and simple language! Highly recommend!

Fantastic book to open up the curious minds of children about food and their bodies! Has helped our little boy immensely with food language, discovery and learning. Highly recommended!

A great book to sneak some positive food messages into your kids

In a world where nutrition information can be confusing with all the messaging out there, it's fantastic to have a book that is written by a skilled dietitian, educator and scientist. Getting back to the basics of nutrition and hydration for our tamariki is soo important; and tying this in to our emotions and feelings, as well as the social evironment is essential. Highly recommend this book for families and schools.
