I placed my order a few days ago for my 11 yr old daughter who has suffered from asthma since she was 4. With all the medications and steroids she was on over the years her weight has ballooned. She is now on a medication regimen that has the asthma under control. My prayer and goal for her moving forward is to work on getting fit through healthy eating and exercising. She is a voracious reader, and I am excited for her to read about this subject from an African American author’s viewpoint. As a mother, thank you for making this very important topic relevant in a way children can understand and relate to. May God continue to bless and use you as his vessel.

In Kori Faces Weekend Fun, by Shawna Doyle we follow Kori during her week long journey of preparing for track tryouts. Kori is faced with many unhealthy obstacles which would lessen her chances of being chosen for the team. However with the help of her mom and friends she is able to stay focused and maintain self discipline. Dean read the story to Mia London Mia-London as a bedtime story one chapter per day. They loved the color illustrations by HH-Pax and also the way the book flows per day Friday to Monday the day Kori has her tryout.

Though we just received the book this week, my granddaughter has asked me to read it to her more times than I can count! LOL It is a cute and entertaining story about how Kori faces the challenge of eating healthy as she prepares to try out for a team at school. I found myself laughing at many parts of the story which made it fun for me as an adult. My grand baby has insisted we go to the market and she pick out the ingredients to make the oatmeal recipe included in this book. She normally frowns on oatmeal so this in itself is great. I will be purchasing more copies for my other grands! Highly recommended.
