About the Story
This award-winning, ground-breaking fictional children’s book depicts the life of an average overweight American kid as he/she encounters the emotional and physical challenges associated with an adolescent overweight condition.

This books uniqueness, however, lies with its mission to not only help children recognize the overwhelming amount of cultural influences that adversely impact their ability to make good lifestyle choices, but also lessen the emotional burden of self-blame carried by those who have internalized sole responsibility for having become overweight or obese. Releasing this burden enables these kids to re-focus their emotional and physical energy on making positive, healthful changes in their life.

In the end, this is a book of hope that spotlights a representative overweight child who, by better understanding society’s many pressures and influences as well as the importance of living healthfully, achieved his/her goal of living a happier, more fulfilling life.
