In a relatable, common-sense and humorous way, authors Leslie Solomonian and Heather Hudson address today’s biggest health concerns and empower parents with information to help them make smart choices for their families.
Meticulously researched, the book provides strategies to promote the whole health of a child, from birth to adult. It provides evidence that turning towards nature can prevent modern epidemics like obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease and help kids enter adulthood with resilience. With snapshots from their own imperfect parenting, they tackle topics like nutrition, immunity, sleep, stress and physical activity, as well as self-esteem, sexuality and environmental responsibility.
Leslie brings a wealth of medical knowledge and academic rigor, while Heather offers a down-to-earth interpretation that brings the book’s concepts to life in an accessible and witty way.

The land on which I live, work and play is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Toronto is in the 'Dish With One Spoon Territory’. The Dish With One Spoon is a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the territory and protect the land. Subsequent Indigenous Nations and peoples, Europeans and all newcomers have been invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect. I also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by the Toronto Purchase, Treaty 13, signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaty signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands.
