A Hungry Lion in My Tummy, picture book, is an adventure of healthy foods for preschoolers and young elementary children that is reaching athletic clubs, educators and parents. This book brings into focus the health benefits of feeding the lion with good foods which all have a positive impact. The character makes the food choices for the lion based on the effects the food will have so the lion can perform. "Maybe I should feed him a banana? A banana will keep his muscles springy so he can jump, twist and exercise." And as the story goes, "But that's not enough for a hungry lion" and the adventure begins. There is a variety of fruits and vegetables mentioned in the story that will enable parents and program directors of special events to have a taste test with the children. Protein is tapped into and the impact it will have as well. A Hungry Lion in My Tummy brings home the message when the character finally decides that if he feeds the lion little bites of all the good foods the lion will be strong and healthy.
