The Superheroes on Your Plate - by Tansy Boggon (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Every food at the dinner table competes for the title of superhero on your plate.

Which food will claim the title?

Avocado boasts health-promoting fats, kiwifruit bursts with vitamin C, eggs crack a protein punch, and brown rice delivers fibre power. Each food takes a turn declaring why it deserves to be the superhero of the plate.

With every turn of the page, children discover that every food has its own superpowers.

The Superheroes on Your Plate combines storytime with gentle nutrition education, inspiring children to explore and enjoy a wider variety of whole foods. It is a fun conversation starter that invites children to imagine the other foods they would bring to the plate as superheroes, whether for their taste or their health-promoting benefits.

Review Quotes

"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 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
