EVERY FOOD AT THE DINNER TABLE COMPETES FOR THE TITLE OF SUPERHERO ON YOUR PLATE.

WHICH FOOD WILL CLAIM THE TITLE?

From avocado to kiwi and around to egg and look out for brown rice! Each food is on a mission to declare themselves the winner. It may be hard to digest at times, but some have an incredibly good reason for being a true champion.


You will have to help them decide...


Combine story time with educating children about nutrition and inspiring them to eat a wider variety of wholefoods. This book aims to be a conversation starter as to what other foods children would bring to the plate as superheroes, either because they enjoy them or for health-promoting benefits. Who will be the plate superhero?

"Instead of saying "don't eat that" or "this food is better than that food" this lovely little book shows how a little bit of every food can contribute to a nutritious plate. It shows how every different element adds its own benefit to the variety of kai (food) we eat in a fun and light-hearted way, inviting tamariki (children) to be naturally curious about the food they eat." Garden to Table Trust, NZ


"A fun and thought-out way to present food values to children and engage in topical talks to improving young health...well done." Marcus, Indiebook reviewer.
