The Wonder of What We Eat Workbook (Paperback)

What if your kids could take what they’ve learned about food and their bodies—and turn it into real, healthy habits that last a lifetime?

The Wonder of What We Eat Workbook is the hands-on companion to the science-based, beautifully illustrated book that helps kids explore how food powers their body, brain, mood, and even the planet—while building confidence, self-awareness, and a lasting, positive relationship with food and health.

Created by a physician and mom, this workbook helps kids:

• Put nutrition knowledge into action—with fun activities, real-life label reading, powerful reflections, and creative goal-setting, to help kids apply what they have learned and develop positive eating habits.
• Build a healthy mindset around food and the body—developing a positive relationship with food while replacing diet culture with nourishment, empowerment, self care and a positive body image
• Practice real-world health literacy skills—like decision-making, analyzing influences, and making thoughtful choices
• Feel confident and capable—encouraging prompts, simple strategies, and hands on learning of essential nutrition concepts.
• Support common challenges—offering a supportive, shame-free alternative to help with picky eating, weight concerns, and early health challenges

This workbook is part of a 3-part system based on the Head Heart Hands method:

• The Book empowers kids with knowledge
• The Workbook reinforces those lessons with reflection and real life-practice
• The Cookbook gives the tools to apply it all in the kitchen

Whether used at home, in classrooms, or with health professionals, this workbook is already making an impact. Lessons are currently being used in one of the largest public school systems in the country—bringing engaging, prevention-focused health education to thousands of students.

This workbook is perfect for:

• Kids who want to feel informed and empowered about their choices—and who may benefit from support with picky eating, food curiosity, or building healthier habits
