The Girls Who Lived in the Refrigerator (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798990878402)

Embark on a whimsical adventure in the new children's book The Girls Who Lived in the Refrigerator - An Adventure in Exploring New Tastes & Making New Friends

Prepare to be enchanted by an engaging tale of friendship, bravery, and the magic of new taste explorations in The Girls Who Lived in the Refrigerator, a delightful children's book written by author and registered dietitian, David Grotto and illustrated by Brian Dumm. This heartwarming story invites children to explore the wonders that await when they dare to try new things.

The adventure begins by introducing readers to a world where three magical fairies reside in an unlikely home: a refrigerator! Each of the fairies has a fondness for their favorite foods (vegetables, fruit, and dairy) and a penchant for adventure. As the tale unfolds, Sam - a young boy who never likes to try anything new - and his dog Maisey discover the fairies and join in on the fun and adventure.

The Girls Who Lived In the Refrigerator features beautiful and vibrant illustrations by renowned artist, Brian Dumm, and a captivating storyline specifically designed for children. Adults will appreciate how the story inspires children to try healthy foods most often under-consumed through positive messages about bravery, adventure, and deliciousness, rather than focusing on food's health merits.

"I created this story for my daughters when they were young as a unique way to entice them to try different foods, says Grotto, and it worked! This story became an important tool to inspire healthy eating that they practice until this very day!"

David Grotto, the creative mind behind The Girls Who Lived In the Refrigerator, has authored three other books: 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life (Bantam Dell, 2006); 101 Optimal Life Foods (Bantam Dell, 2008) and The Best Things You Can Eat (Da Capo Press, 2010) and has ventured into the world of children's books.

"For several decades as a registered dietitian, I've discovered that people value taste and enjoyment above all else and children are no different. Research shows that cartoon characters resonate with young children and can be influential in their choices. I'm proud to introduce these fun and lovable characters - inspired by my three daughters - who make wanting to eat healthy both fun and enjoyable. We hope to encourage children to make good choices and develop a positive relationship with food."

Whether read aloud at bedtime or incorporated into classroom lessons, The Girls Who Lived in the Refrigerator provides a valuable resource for parents, educators, dietitians, and caregivers seeking to promote healthy eating habits among children and is destined to become a cherished addition to any family's library.
