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?

 
"A joy of a book that puts the fun into teaching kids about nutrition and getting them to love the healthy foods on their plate." — Dr Joanna McMillan, Nutrition Scientist & Dietitian
 
"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.

Very cute book highlighting the benefits of different fruits and vegetables. Bright and colorful. Love that it teaches that all foods can be superheroes and fit on the plate. My kids (4 and 1) loved it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great way for kids to learn about food
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2022
As a fellow RD and food punster, it was a delight to read Tansy's Superheroes on your plate. It is colorful and whimsy, making it a fun read for kids and adults alike. The friendly competition for "space on the plate" gives parents a chance to taco 'bout variety, moderation, and balance. I love the play on words. Food is a great muse!

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining look into food and nutrition
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2022
As a Registered Dietitian I can appreciate teaching kids about nutrition at an early age. I love how this book showcases the benefits of each group of foods, and later introduces synergistic qualities of food pairings. This would be a great book to include in preschool curriculum, and in the waiting rooms of dentists and medical clinics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Colorful & Engaging Way to Spark Children's Interest in Healthy Foods
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2022
This is a delightful book! The drawings are bright and colorful to initially spark a child's interest in the book. The dialogue amongst the foods and the hilarious puns immediately engage the listener, resulting in a fun, laughter-filled story time. There are many educational opportunities for this book! It could be used to prompt a healthy snack time in a daycare or kindergarten setting, as an introduction to a healthy eating project for 1st/2nd graders, or even as a play/skit. What a great way to engage children regarding healthy food options!

5.0 out of 5 stars A simple and fun way to introduce nutrition to young kids!
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2022
What a great and fun way to introduce nutrition to young kids! The author does a good job of teaching simple nutrition messages in a way that kids can understand and start to become curious of foods on their plate. Through this book kids learn how foods are nutritious on their own, and how when foods are paired with each other they can create a healthy plate. The illustrations are fun and pair well with the story! I especially loved the food puns used throughout the book.

Highly recommend.
