Adventures Of Sammy

YMCA is all about fun, activity and good times and Saturday June 4th YMCA Greater Moncton offers all of this specifically for kids and it’s FREE!!

There will be a bouncy castle, swimming, obstacle courses and BananaBoy! That’s right! I will be there not only to participate in the activities with my son but to read Sending You Sammy to all who stop in. I’ll have two readings, one at 2:30 and the other at 4:00 so be sure you don’t miss out!

There may even be a surprise or two for you to enjoy!

Thanks for reading,

BananaBoy is making a difference in Canada and you can help! I have recently created a petition for you to sign in support of bringing more healthy foods to our schools, just like Jamie is doing for the school’s in the United States.

The support for Jamie Oliver’s newest petition to remove flavoured milks from the schools in the United States has been tremendous but he still doesn’t stop his effort with getting more signatures. Only I’m not able to sign it because I’m in Canada. A lot of people have been publicly voicing this same concern and even though we’re not in the USA and our children do not attend their schools we are showing that our support goes beyond our countries borders.

But let’s show our own government how we feel about sending our children to eat foods that are making them unhealthy and eventually obese.

Adventures of Sammy and BananaBoy are all about supporting a healthy today just as Jamie Oliver is.

So come on over to sign my petition today and share it with friends and family. I hope to forward this to my local premier at the end of May 2011 depending on the amount of signatures collected. This is the information on the petition:

I was the first signature, will you be the second?

Jamie Oliver , famous chef, wished, through TED, to Educate every child about food. He stars in Food Revolution and is making efforts to change the American school lunch menu’s to be healthy and remain delicious. He has already met this goal in his country of England and wants to spread his efforts to the rest of the world through USA.

He’s asked for others to tell him about their efforts in creating a Food Revolution and making the world a healthier place so I knew I had to tell him about the Adventures Of Sammy. I have done so in through the following video.

If you like this video and have a YouTube subscription please vote for it and comment. If not, please email Jamie Oliver to tell him what you think of it.

Thanks for watching, thanks for reading and I would appreciate all the support and comments you can offer.

A newsletter in Comox, British Columbia name Our Big Earth has posted a review on Sending You Sammy. Although it’s surprisingly not a directly glowing review it does convince parents not to let their own fears and dislikes get in the way of a book a child likes.

Check it out today and, if you’re in the Comox area, visit Nearly New Books for your copy.
