At the height of her suffering, she begins her journey to face her challenges.Unfortunately, we still live in a society where many still label children who have some type of food selectivity as "picky eaters," "spoiled," "fussy," etc. Children are judged, and parents are criticized, as if the eating difficulty were a choice to seek attention.Tonton comes to teach us that we all have difficulties, and eating is no different. With the support of her parents and the help of professionals, Tonton embarks on an adventure of new discoveries, including new flavors.
