Gr 2–4—This series aims to help elementaryage kids become more aware of their physical and emotional health by developing good habits, with an overall sense of well-being. Commonly discussed health-related issues are explored (nutrition and exercise), along with less common, like getting enough sleep and decreasing stress levels. In addition to explaining why certain things are beneficial or not, the text gives helpful tips on incorporating easy ways to get fit and eat better. Kids are encouraged to take agency over their health by doing things like creating sleep journals and talking through issues with a trusted adult. This series has a positive and cheerful tone, with the topics discussed in a relatable way.
VERDICT While not groundbreaking, this series is informative and will appeal to young readers.
