Giving away copies of Feeding The Kids

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the readers who have recently written to us about how Feeding the Kids has helped your family or your clients! We wrote the book with an earnest desire to help as many children as possible learn to love eating foods that are good for their bodies.

I am a former teacher and still volunteer in schools regularly. My co-author spent years working with obese adults and children. What the two of us saw daily left us wishing that all kids to grow up with a healthy attitude toward foods, a strong body, and the skills they need to help the next generation (our grand kids) eat well, too. So, we wrote Feeding the Kids.

But, honestly, some days writing, and especially so-called "book promotion," seems more like drudgery than the pursuit of what I hope is a noble cause. Then I hear from a mom who no longer fights with her kids at the dinner table or whose kids now like veggies...and it is all worth it again.

Still, I often daydream about ways reach more families. So, with the full support of all the authors and Mancala Publishing, we are going to try something crazy. (I am very excited about this!) We have decided to start GIVING AWAY copies of Feeding the Kids to parents who desperately need (and want!) this information. To start with, we are going to donate one book for every book sold direct from the publisher (i.e. through our website). We have also set up a way for people who already have a copy to help. For every one copy you donate, we are going to give away 2 more. Please join us in this effort by visiting www.feedingthekids.com/donateabook.html.

And one more thing...if you have other ideas about how we can help kids, please comment below!
