Jesse and the Snack Food Genie (Food Justice Books for Kids)
Jesse and the Snack Food Genie teaches readers the importance of eating the right foods but also that having a snack occasionally isn’t bad. Jesse is a young boy who is like most kids – he prefers sugary, sweet, and quick foods (because they taste better!) instead of fruits, vegetables, and whole meals (that take longer and aren’t as tasty). One day, the Snack Food Genie shows up and seems perfect – he encourages Jesse to eat things he already enjoys; however, with his famaily, friends, and events happening, he learns that these foods don’t keep him full for long and he can’t be his best self. Jesse learns the right balance between snacks and nutritious foods and begins seeing the benefits in all areas.
I can relate to this book because I find snacks easier and sometimes more fun to eat, but I’m thankful that I also enjoy cut-up veggies and fruit and understand how meals keep me full for longer. I need to check out the other books from Food Justice that deal with food and a monster and phantom – I believe that all other kids do, too!
