I'm a mother of twins, RDA accredited Cloth Diaper Circle Leader, and an RN discussing parenting tips, green living, and products I love!
Congratulations Crystal! You are our Super Sprowtz book giveaway winner! Thank you to all who participated. I’d like to especially thank Super Sprowtz for donating a book to this giveaway and for helping to encourage our youth to eat healthy!
What are the Super Sprowtz? They are a great bunch of characters dreamed up by Radha Agrawal. Radha is an inspiring woman (and happens to be a twin!) who has created a series of books based on the Super Sprowtz characters. These characters were conceived to build a healthier future for today’s youth. Each of the characters has a super ability based off of their nutritional value. The stories are meant to be read to, or read by, your children to inspire them to eat their veggies and maybe even take on some of these much desired “super powers”.
Radha asked that I do a product review and sent me Brian Broccoli’s book in which he uses his super strength along with his many super sprowtz friends to defeat the evil Greasy G. The book has a great plot line, lots of beautiful illustrations, and a description of broccoli’s nutritional content along with a recipe. It also describes some basic nutritional content of many vegetables as well. My 23 month old twins seemed entertained by the story, and the book has given me some new vocabulary to use when talking to them about food. I have read that it isn’t a very good idea to tell kids “finish your broccoli and then you can have fruit!” (or dessert or whatever) Doing this gives the impression that one food is better than the other. However, if we instead encourage them to eat veggies by taking a bite ourselves and saying “yummy” or perhaps “eat your broccoli all gone so you can be big and strong like Brian Broccoli” we are not insinuating that one food tastes better than another. We are educating them about what is good for them. P.S. it can still be yummy too!
Check out this Super Sprowtz video! SuperSprowtz.com is loaded with tons of great stuff like, recipes, videos, educational information, and you can purchase the books there as well. You can also buy the Super Sprowtz collection at Amazon.com!
Radha has an amazing background as a film and TV producer for 10 years, as well as experience as a fitness instructor. She co-owns two organic restaurants with her twin sister Miki in New York. She wants to eradicate the current obesity epidemic and I want to help! The best way to do this is to educate our young children about eating healthy foods while they are young. I encourage you to check out SuperSprowtz.com. It is an amazing resource!
To encourage a healthy education, Radha has agreed to giveaway one of the books in the Super Sprowtz series!
