About This Book
Reach for this book when you notice your family has fallen into a rut of 'zombie' screen time and processed snacks, and you need a lighthearted way to hit the reset button. It is a perfect tool for parents navigating the 'picky eater' phase or struggling to encourage physical activity without making it feel like a chore. The story follows the Gulps, a family of bunnies whose sedentary lifestyle and poor diet literally weigh down their RV until it breaks. Through a chance encounter with a healthy-living farmer, they discover that fresh food and movement can be fun rather than a punishment. While it touches on physical health, the heart of the book is about family connection and the joy of being present. It is ideally suited for children ages 4 to 8 who appreciate slapstick humor and relatable family dynamics.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book addresses obesity and lifestyle habits in a direct, somewhat satirical manner. While it avoids medical terminology, it focuses on the physical consequences of poor habits (sluggishness, breaking furniture). The approach is secular and the resolution is hopeful and empowering.
