The Land of Secret Superpowers: Vegetables entices your little ones to open their eyes (and their mouths) to the heroic possibilities of the delicious foods we are all meant to eat. This book will give them the understanding that spinach can "make you strong like daddy" and broccoli might "make you run faster than mommy", and they just might bite. Suddenly you're setting your little one up to be healthy while having peace in the kitchen.

Unlike other books that encourage kids to eat vegetables, celebrity chef and mom Devin Alexander's message goes a step further suggesting that veggies are as enticing as candy and she hopes to change the narrative: instead of telling a child they "can't eat junk" and "must learn to eat veggies," let's help them CHOOSE veggies on their own because they will help give them "superpowers." For example:

Avocado gives you energy to run fast

Beets help you jump high

Carrots are good for eyesight

Celery can help you keep calm

Mushrooms help improve your mood

Spinach gives you strength and makes you run fast

Sweet potatoes give you energy to have more fun

and squash makes your lungs strong so you can blow bubbles and swim!

The Land of Secret Superpowers: Vegetables includes illustrations of multicultural children that learn where vegetables come from and how they grow. The use of rhyming words and sentences is a proven technique to help kids improve word decoding and reading comprehension.
