In celebration of Read Across America, Azaliya Schulz releases her new book Healthy Eating with Liam, the Smart Rabbit. This book is a delightful story of a inquisitive rabbit who learns how nutrition works to keep him healthy. Children’s parents and caregivers will find this a useful resource to teach their children to love reading, especially because it teaches them about eating healthy foods.
The importance of reading in life, and in school, cannot be overstated. Despite this, statistics show that children lose interest in reading for fun as they get older.
Scholastic’s survey revealed a sharp decline in reading enjoyment after the age of eight. Sixty-two percent of children between six and eight say they either love or like reading books for fun, but this percentage drops to just 46% for children between the ages of nine to 11, with the figure at 49% for 12-14 year olds, and 46% again for 15-17 year olds. These statistics call upon everyone to read and engage with children to make reading a more fun and interactive experience.
Schulz is an author of children’s books, has a strong desire to write inspiring children’s books on important topics, that help children to become independent and critical thinkers and create a supportive and loving community.
Author Schulz, explains why her book is a game changer for parents “it is fun to read and encompasses two major themes: why fruits and vegetables are healthy, as well as why processed foods (in this case candy) may have long-term negative effects on health. It empowers the child to make educated and healthier choices”.
Reader’s Favourite gave the book 5 star review and said “Azaliya Schulz’s picture book, Healthy Eating with Liam, the Smart Rabbit is a sure way to make all children smart eaters like Liam. Told in rhyming verse, this lyrical treasure will both educate and entertain even the fussiest of eaters. Young readers will enjoy the simple language and the rhyming verse as they learn about vitamins and different foods that are healthy. The plot follows Liam as he learns about the good nutrients in his diet and the curiosity that leads him into the sweet factory to learn more. With colorful illustrations, this is a fun read that will encourage young readers to eat healthily and enjoy the fresh natural foods that they can grow in their own gardens”.
