Growing Strong

A Book About Taking Care of Yourself

Author: Christina Goodings

This look-and-learn book is full of colorful pictures of children doing the things that support a healthy lifestyle--staying clean, exercising, and eating well. Parents or teachers sharing the book aloud will appreciate the brief captions and thoughts that provide useful discussion-starter points, or children can reflect on these as they read on their own.

The whole concept conveys a simple message about healthy living and the importance of looking after ourselves and each other.

"Colourful with great illustrations and informative, in a basic but interesting way." --Times Educational Supplement

"Teachers in particular will find this excellent little book a useful teaching tool for increasing awareness of environmental issues." --Write Away
