- "Ok, for dinner tomorrow, would you like to pick the vegetables to eat?" asks her mom.
- "Yes! I want to pick!" Penelope says excitedly.

- Penelope asks, "What are these? Can we eat these today? I like the colors!" "Yes, we can have them. These are also veggies," her mom says as she hands Penelope a plate.
- At the table, Penelope says, "This is yummy! I want more."

- Message to the parentsGetting children to eat vegetables can be a difficult task. With that said it could be helpful to try enjoyable ways for kids to eat vegetables. This book is a guide to show how expanding a child's options could allow them to like their vegetables instead of being forced to eat specific ones repeatedly. Additionally, allowing your kid to participate in the making of meals could even make them feel more excited because they have a role to take on. For example, asking your child what they would like to try or giving them more than one option for food would promote further participation from them.
