‘I love how this story educates children about what they put into their bodies and how it benefits them. Beautifully illustrated book. Well done to Kemi. So, refreshing when surrounded by so much junk food and easy lazy oven meals’

“As a home-school mum of two and a grandmother of two boys. I know the challenges of getting your children to eat right. However, after reading “MY FRIENDS ON THE INSIDE, I would highly recommend it as a fun, informative way to teach children about healthy eating habits”.

“This beautifully illustrated and colourful book would appeal to young children. It would also be of value to parents and educators who want to teach children the importance of a healthy diet and lifestyle”.
Emer Ahern
Early Years Educator
“First of all, the first impression I got was the beautiful colourful, eye-catching cover, and the illustrations represent the organs. The book is an easy read and would keep a child interested. It is a great story as I work with young children and know how hard it can be to eat healthy foods. I believe this story would help many children understand the important benefits of eating healthy and the function of our organs. I can’t wait to read this book to my class”.
Sonya Marshall, Early Years Educator

Great Way to Explain the Importance of Healthy Eating to Children
I bought this to read to my children. My daughter eats healthy foods, but doesn’t eat large portions, so I wanted to help her understand that food is fueling her body, but in a way that she could grasp it. This book was wonderful for that!! She loved hearing about how the heart, muscle, bone, brain, and immune system need our help! (I am a nurse, so we talk about body parts and how the body works already.) I highly recommend this book!

Takes 10 minutes to read
This book was a little disappointing, was a bit flimsy and didn’t take long to read. Don’t think it was value for money..
