Author Description

Kids and veggies are like oil and water. They don't always mix. Stir in a little fantasy and a pinch of magic with a first-in-kind nutritional fairy tale to bring the two together. The author introduces the story of Petal & Blade to teach the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables in an imaginative and memorable way. Petal and Blade, two curious teenagers from the far away land of Eatenwell, take you on a tour of the Strong, Vision, Energy, and Think Kingdoms. Along the way, kids make connections such as "I am stronger when I eat broccoli!" which encourage them to value and be proud of eating healthy foods. But don't get lured into the Junk Food Junkyard filled with tempting sweets and treats. The Jailor, who watches over the Junkyard, is waiting to capture new friends. An engaging quiz, catchy phrases and mottos, and simple recipe ideas fortify the underlying message. Eat well to excel!
