Early Childhood Obesity

Posted by Karen Land on May 4, 2007 at 1:16am

Hi I am trying to compile a list of picture books addressing our nation wide problem, Childhood Obesity. After surviving many years of lunch duty, I became dismayed at school lunch menus, and by what the students threw away. I think we need to appeal to kids in a new way about what they eat. So I wrote and illustrated a book on the pitfalls of junk food...Fat Tale I would like to hear from you. Have teachers requested books addressing this timely topic Thanx...Karen Land
