CORAL SPRINGS, FL, September 27, 2010 (Press-News.org) The Secret Life of Mitch Spinach children's book series is a timely and innovative book series that fills a void in children's literature and prompts kids to choose healthy foods independently. National campaigns focused on childhood nutrition-related health problems and on unhealthy school lunches have brought the gravity of the health crisis involving American children to the forefront. Because every family shares the burden of trying to raise healthy children in a fast-food/junk food filled world, parents are desperate for a hero who not only espouses a healthy lifestyle but also remains cool enough for their children to emulate. No book on the market today reaches this goal in an entertaining, motivating, and non-dogmatic way. Plus, all children like stories about "super" kids.
Mitch Spinach seems to be an ordinary kid, but his classmates have begun to suspect something. The notes in his custom-made, temperature-controlled Nutripak lunchbox appear to have been written in code. While other kids eat their usual chicken fingers and pepperoni pizza, Mitch Spinach mixes up his meal in a battery-powered blender before their curious and envious eyes. Although he is the smartest, nicest, strongest kid in Ms. Radicchio's class, he often misses recess when he is called to Principal Lycopene's office. The truth is that his high-powered fruit and vegetable smoothies give him special powers, such as super-sonic hearing and amazing night vision, which help him tackle problems and solve mysteries at Sunchoke Elementary.
Each children's book in the series contains a Secrets for Parents and Teachers Section, written by renowned family physician and best selling author, Joel Fuhrman, M.D. and a healthy recipe taken from the book's adventure for parents and kids to try. The Mitch Spinach website also contains creative lesson plans for teachers of all disciplines and outlines the importance of sound nutrition in the Parents section of the site. Joel presides over the nutritional and medical aspects of the Mitch Spinach mission, ensuring that the information presented in the book and on http://www.MitchSpinach.com is based on sound medical and nutritional evidence.
As adults we know that good nutrition fosters academic and athletic performance, but getting children to understand the importance of a healthy diet can be a daunting task. While textbooks and food pyramids are one form of promoting the message, they are not the most stimulating or successful pedagogical models for the elementary school student. As with any subject, children need fun and entertaining ways to learn material. What is one of the most effective ways to teach an elementary school child a concept? Through a story, of course. The subtlety of fiction enables children to learn without even realizing that they are learning. The Secret Life of Mitch Spinach book series appeals to a wide range of children aged 3 to 10.
While many books focus on a child's dislike of a certain food (usually a vegetable), this book series is devoid of that type of negativity and instead transforms healthy eating into a behavior to be copied in order to gain "super" powers like those of Mitch Spinach. The Secret Life of Mitch Spinach book series has the power to significantly change the way that children eat because it actually prompts children to ask for healthy food without preaching to them about the benefits of a healthy diet.
