What if your kids were excited to eat healthy foods, felt confident in their bodies, and were empowered to build habits to support their physical and mental health for life?
The Wonder of What We Eat is a science-based, beautifully illustrated book for kids ages 8-13, while also engaging and insightful for readers of all ages, including parents and educators. It helps kids discover how food powers their body, brain, mood, and even the planet-all while building a healthy relationship with food, a positive body image, and a sense of empowerment over their own health.
Written by a physician and mom, this unique guide goes beyond the basics of eat your veggies and introduces kids to powerful concepts that even most adults haven't learned, including:
- Eye-opening nutrition science - like how food affects your microbiome, genetics, metabolism, energy, emotions, and even the planet
- A fresh, empowering mindset around food and the body - replacing diet culture with a focus on nourishment, self-care, and resilience
- Essential health literacy skills - including decision-making, goal-setting, and analyzing influences
- Encouragement and real-life tools - giving kids confidence and practical strategies they can use every day to expand their food choices, support healthy growth, and build habits that can help with picky eating and maintaining a healthy weight
- A positive, shame-free approach - helping kids build a healthy relationship with food, understand their bodies, and make choices that help them thrive, now and for the future
The Wonder of What We Eat is part of a 3-part system based on the Head Heart Hands method:
- The Book equips kids with knowledge and an empowering mindset about food and their bodies
- The Workbook turns lessons into action and reflection
- The Cookbook gives kids the tools to apply it all in the kitchen
By giving kids practical nutrition knowledge, a healthy mindset about food and their bodies, and the tools to make positive changes, we can literally change the trajectory of their health-and their lives.
Perfect for:
- Kids who want to feel informed and empowered about their choices
- Parents who want their kids to grow up healthy, strong, and confident
- Teachers and school districts seeking inclusive, prevention-based curriculum that meets national standards
Ready to raise a generation that's informed, empowered, and excited about their health?
