PreS-Gr 1-Each volume has an introduction composed of a few brief sentences about how the featured activity is important to overall health. The scenes that follow are from the daily lives of a diverse group of children who show how simple it is to develop good habits and make healthy choices. For example, Juana and Maria walk to school, join sports, and stay active through play. Smaller text boxes on each page provide additional tips and give the books a little more mileage in terms of target audience. The watercolor illustrations of the perpetually smiling children directly match the narratives, letting readers make the correlation between fun and healthy.
