 Yummy Tummy Rainbow Garden: Teaching Children of All Ages to Eat Well 

Yummy Tummy Rainbow Garden features a bright garden of colorful illustrations and wise eating tips to entertain both children and adults. The best way to enjoy this book is to hold your children (or grandchildren) on your lap and read it with them. The text is simple enough for young readers to read along with you and the advice is good for everybody.

Unplug at work for a peaceful lunch hour!

Oh no, just saw a cutlery on TV this morning that doubles as a pen set for the desk. UGH , lets unplug and get away from the work station. Walk to lunch or pack a brown bag lunch to enjoy at a picnic table outside. Not to mention a workspace in the office is highly contaminated with all sorts of bacteria...the phone, computer key board, desk top, door handles, etc.  Please don't cave. Unplug and get fresh air by eating away from your desk. Go on a walk. Better digestion to follow! Get unplugged and LIVE free for your lunch break. Oh happy day!

Been waiting a long time for this nutritional book for my family!

This review is from: Yummy Tummy Rainbow Garden: Teaching Children of All Ages to Eat Well (Paperback)

I've been waiting for this book to come out for a long time and finally I got a hold of it. It is one of those rear books that doesn't have direct or indirect advertisement of cookies, ice cream, pizza, etc. Why are these items in almost every book anyways ?! Instead Yummy Tummy Rainbow Garden encourages outside play, love for veggies/fruits, gives kid-friendly explanation of why this or that food is good for you. Why you should eat celery? - Because it looks like your bones and it has all of the needed nutrition/ food for your bones to grow strong and fast!

Karen Leonetti, the author of the book, used to be my child's teacher at the Earth Angels Preschool (the names of two main characters) and I know she walks the talk. Her morning routine with the kids used to be to make a "monster green" smoothie with the kids. They all loved the activity, it came just natural to them b/c of the daily encouragement and modeling from adults to the kids at home and at the school. So needless to say, my daughter, when reading the book, was so excited to see a picture of the blender and of her familiar "green monster" smoothie!

As a bonus, a few recipes are included in the book that you can make with your little ones. They are simple and nutritious!

This review is from: Yummy Tummy Rainbow Garden: Teaching Children of All Ages to Eat Well (Paperback)

Wow...I'm just amazed already! My favorite parts of this colorful book, aside from the storyline, are the awesome tip sheet for parents and the 4 recipes for gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free yummies. As a picky eater myself, I am excited to share this with my raw plant-based diet friends and their children. By the way, loveeee the illustrations by Lee Libro.

Happy LABOR day to not only the military, but to all GREAT parents out there. You LABOR everyday to do the BEST you can and to raise independent, strong children. Continue to feed them WELL, hydrate with good water and  give loving guidance. BE their PARENT and not their FRIEND. They have MANY friends, but only YOU as a parent!

Celery for my bones???

Can't wait to be old enough to eat this celery! The Yummy Tummy Rainbow Garden storybook taught me that CELERY is good for my BONES! In the meantime I'm just gonna gnaw.....

Another great review! YEAH!

 Healthy Eating made fun for Kids!, August 29, 2013

Kids are often fussy eaters, with a preference for highly processed, quick-fix, non-nutritious foods. Changing this socially accepted attitude can be challenging. From Karen's vast experience with kids and a healthy lifestyle, as noted in her book, she has written a clever, creative, and practical approach for parents and their children. In a culture fighting illness and obesity, I highly recommend this book as a step toward health and well being. With Christmas approaching, this would make an ideal gift for any child!

SUPER excited for a story by Karen Wilsen Leonetti and her newly published book, "Yummy Tummy Rainbow Garden"!!! So happy it arrived today!!! Love to you Karen & all that you are doing in your new adventures to promote healthy eating!!! — with Karen Leonetti.

Favorite Motto

My favorite motto: 

If you're not hungry enough to eat an apple
...than you're simply  NOT hungry enough!

Try this next time your kiddos plead "hunger."
 A great way to get children eating well.
