About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is stuck in a food rut and 'new' has become a scary word at the dinner table. It is a playful tool for addressing the stubbornness of picky eaters without the lecture. Little Donkey loves grass so much that he ignores all other options, until he physically turns green from his limited diet. This transformation provides a visual, humorous consequence that children can grasp immediately. While the story centers on healthy eating, it also touches on the loving persistence of parents and the natural curiosity that comes when we finally step outside our comfort zone. It is perfect for preschoolers and early elementary students who are beginning to assert their independence through food choices. Parents will appreciate how it uses humor and a gentle 'oops' ending to show that variety is the spice of life, even if we just trade one favorite for another.
