Once I obtained a duplicate of “Wellness Champions” by Eziaha Bolaji-Olojo and Sons, an illustration, I used to be ecstatic to learn it as a result of it addresses a urgent international concern: kids’s well being concern. The vibrant and interesting cowl creatively illustrates the e book’s title and will surely seize the eye of my six-year-old. If I might describe the e book cowl in a single phrase, it might be “alive”.
The e book infuses the authors’ quirks and personalities and makes the seemingly daunting job of cultivating wholesome consuming habits really feel achievable and pleasant, with out trivialising the required dedication. Rooted in real-life experiences, the narrative resonated with me on a profoundly private stage, validating a few of my struggles and triumphs as a mom. This authenticity is laced with humour that elicits giggles and smiles from me, making each web page a joyous journey.
In “Wait! There’s Junk within the Social gathering Pack!”, we’re launched to the world of the Bolaji-Olojo’s.

When the curious and outspoken ElJohn asks why he doesn’t get to make use of a telephone or laptop computer regardless of adults’ frequent utilization of those units, Eziaha responds that Twenty first-century moms must have of their recollections. The chapter gives solutions to questions like, what do micro organism and human beings have in widespread? Why do unhealthy meals look so interesting? Why don’t most producers merely make their merchandise as wholesome as we’d like them to be?
The third chapter, “Taiwo Doesn’t Need to Eat His Apple?” strikes us away from the Bolaji-Olojo’s dwelling to the boys’ faculty the place we encounter the “junk-free star of the week problem” and its impression on little Taiwo who merely struggled to transition from a junk-filled lunchbox to a more healthy one – a wrestle most mother and father can relate to. But, most remarkably, we see the facility of equipping our kids (via instilling the fitting values) with the instruments to impact optimistic change within the lives of their friends.
The fourth chapter, “There’s a Battle in Tummy Ville: Captain Eco the Wholesome vs. Junko the Junk Foodie”, is a pleasant story that kids will get pleasure from studying repeatedly. KingDaveed’s science undertaking presentation ushers us right into a charming land known as Tummy Ville, the place the inhabitants should select who will rule them – the wholesome captain together with his healthful meals or Junko the unhealthy man together with his unhealthy treats. In the meantime, a sudden thunderstorm takes over the stadium the place Captain Eco and Junko had delivered their manifestos, every citizen of Tummy Ville should face the results of their decisions. The chapter exposes who would survive the thunderstorm, and who would ultimately be declared ruler of Tummy Ville.
The fifth chapter serves as a tantalising feast for the senses, dispelling the parable that wholesome consuming is unappealing. By mouthwatering descriptions and illustrations, the e book ignites a ardour for healthful vitamin, inspiring readers of all ages to embrace a junk-free life-style.
In the meantime, if you happen to or your kids hate to go to the docs for something apart from routine checks and childbirth, then you definitely’ll love studying about the Seven Finest Docs in chapter six, “Yay! The Coolest and Healthiest Social gathering Packs” The chapter will get us to rethink the concept of social gathering packs. Are you aware the historical past of social gathering packs?

This seventh chapter addresses these questions via enjoyable and fascinating storytelling that conjures up you to make more healthy decisions not simply to your youngsters, however for his or her pals.
Within the ultimate chapter, “Our Lunchboxes are Pure and the Yummiest”, we uncover, in a vibrant illustration, Nigeria’s complete meals information for youngsters, and readers are gifted a wholesome meal plan curated by the Bolaji-Olojo’s. The e book ends with an enlightening unique interview with the famend child nutritionist, Ify Omesiete, a reveal of the seven-week Wellness Champions Membership curriculum for main colleges in Nigeria, a puzzle that’s positive to get each you and your kids’s mind pondering laborious, and a recognition of the stellar dream workforce that made the Wellness Champions e book the masterpiece it’s.
