About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is transitioning into more independent eating habits or expressing a newfound interest in what makes their body grow. It is a perfect tool for parents navigating a picky eating phase, as it transforms fruit from a battleground into a fascinating subject of scientific study. Through clear, accessible text and vibrant photography, the book explores the diversity of the fruit group and explains why these foods are essential for a healthy body. This guide empowers young children with knowledge, fostering a sense of pride in making healthy choices. It is developmentally appropriate for early learners who are beginning to categorize the world around them. By focusing on the 'why' behind nutrition, it helps move the conversation away from power struggles and toward a shared curiosity about nature and health.
What Parents Should Know
