Early Childhood Obesity

Hi
I am trying to compile a list of picture books addressing our nation wide problem, Childhood Obesity.

After surviving many years of lunch duty, I became dismayed at school lunch menus, and by what the students threw away. I think we need to appeal to kids in a new way about what they eat. So I wrote and illustrated a book on the pitfalls of junk food...Fat Tale

I would like to hear from you. Have teachers requested books addressing this timely topic
Thanx...Karen Land
