A great narrative for the overweight child

Ms. Figtree writes from an overweight child's perspective, about how he feels about being overweight. His nutritionist then leads him on the path to health with diet and exercise regimens, which the child shares with the reader. Not a technical book at all, but it does explain the basics of nutrition and how it impacts the way a child feels, both physically and emotionally. A planned-out, easy to follow eating program is included. Appropriate for children ages 5-16.
