👋 Hello, Community! 👋

I am excited to share Tayo and the Super Produce Pals at the Grocery Store! - a children's book created to promote plant-powered eating and improve health literacy for both kids and adults. This illustrated children's book makes nutrition exciting and relatable for families, promoting plant-powered eating across communities. Using an evidence-based approach, it features a fun social story with characters of various abilities to help children and adults envision making healthy, plant-powered choices, fostering lifelong health habits. The focus is on enhancing well-being through plant-forward foods-no need to label as vegetarian or vegan to enjoy the benefits!

This book aligns with my ongoing grant work aimed at improving food access across communities, and I hope it continues to serve as a valuable resource in that effort.

Why It Is Special:

• Created by a doctor and parent to help families enjoy healthy, plant-based foods.

• Endorsed by pediatricians, dietitians, and national health leaders, including the EVP/Chief Health Officer at Blue Zones and the past president of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.

• Features inclusive human characters with different physical abilities.

• Includes kid-friendly recipes, weekly missions, and fun activities to spark meaningful food conversations and empower plant-powered eating.

Key Highlights:

• A practical toolkit for families, educators, and clinicians to tackle picky eating and encourage plant-powered eating habits.

• Promotes lifelong healthy habits for children and adults alike, supported by evidence-based tips.

• Recently reached #1 in Early Release: Children's Diet & Nutrition and Top 100 Best Sellers! 🥳🍏🥦

How You Can Get Involved:

• Share it with families, friends, or colleagues.

• Read it with a child to promote plant-powered eating habits.

• Display it in your clinic, classroom, or waiting room to spark important conversations.

• Leave a review or share your thoughts on Goodreads or social media to help others discover the book.

Thank you to all those promoting health literacy and food access across communities!
