Bookroo's summary

Gus, Nellie, and baby Jake embark on a delightful picnic journey. From gathering fresh produce at the market to preparing a feast, their day is filled with vibrant activities. As they savor their meal in the park and fly a kite, young readers discover the joy of healthy eating and active living. Will this day of fun inspire lasting habits?

From the publisher

Acclaimed New York Times best-selling author Robie H. Harris introduces preschoolers to the pleasures of eating healthy, being active, and feeling good. Gus, Nellie, and baby Jake can’t wait to go on a picnic! In the morning the family heads to their community garden, then to the farmer’s market and the grocery store to gather vegetables, fruit, meat, and other fresh and delicious foods. Readers follow them through the day as they go home to prepare, cook, and pack up the goodies, then cap their day by eating a yummy meal in the park and flying a kite together. Funny, accessible, family-filled illustrations; conversations between Gus and Nellie; and matter-of-fact text combine to show young children how food fuels our bodies – and help them see how healthy eating and drinking, and being active, can make them feel their best for a day full of fun.
