Nourish Interactive is a wonderful site that is instilling healthy habits in all its visitors. I recommend visiting their site on a regular basis to get news, information and tips and to have fun while learning!!

Maggie included a list of other books recommended to help children learn about the benefits of eating healthy and I’d recommend checking them all out.

My Review of What About Me by William G Bentrim

What About Me is a cute book that addresses the feelings one healthy child may have about the attention received by a sibling feeling under the weather.

We’ve all been there, those who have siblings have been anyway. When you are told you have to go to school but your sister or brother doesn’t as they are sick. When your sibling receives presents and can eat ice cream before dinner. I’ve been there, jealous of my sister for having Tonsillitis and able to eat frozen treats, jello and ice cream any time she was hungry. Wanting to spend the night in the hospital just so people would visit me and call to ask how I was.

These feelings are normal and Bentrim tells a story we can all relate to. And not only does he tell a heartwarming story but he also includes parenting tips and additional resources at the end of the tale.

I can’t wait to read more of Bentrim’s stories to my son.

Thank you for reading,

The Tiny Caterpillar and the Great Big Tree

Although this book isn’t by a Canadian author I felt it deserved a review on this site anyway.

The Tiny Caterpillar and the Great Big Tree is a children’s book written by author Kelly Moran that is sure to impress parents and children of all ages.

With its colourful illustrations done by Lynn Lorbeske, The Tiny Caterpillar learns about acceptance, forgiveness and adventure while realizing that change and differences are nothing to cower from. Moran has readers follow the tale of the relationship between a tiny caterpillar and the great big world around him through persistence and devotion to friendships already made.

Falling in love with Moran’s collection of short stories and poems in An Insomniac’s Dream: A Collection of Poems and Short Stories I knew I had to get her children’s book for my newest addition. When she offered me a copy for review I couldn’t pass up the amazing offer and will soon be buying my own copy of this fantastic story.

Thanks for reading,
