“You Are Healthy is a
terrific tool to introduce
young children to important
things we do to stay healthy.
I love that it covers aspects from
washing hands to laughing,
playing, and having quiet time.
These are good reminders for
young and old alike.”
— Dr. Carol Carlson, M.D.
“Highly recommended for families, daycare centers, preschool
programs, and elementary school library collections….
Outstanding and kid-friendly.”
—Midwest Book Review Children’s Bookwatch
“Physicians are looking for high-quality educational materials that appeal to children and that address their
physical and mental health.... I highly recommend Maren Green Publishing’s You Are Healthy and
the three companion books for encouraging healthy behavioral choices for children.”
—Neal R. Holtan, M.D., M.P.H., Preventive Medicine Specialist

abilities. The combination of book and song would be useful to build

movement, happiness, and vitality, Strong’s illustrations promote an uplifting and positive

emotion a specific interpretation with rhyming text….Useful for introducing toddlers
to feelings.”—Children’s Literature

different races and genders. I love the title!”—Natasha Thorager,
elementary school Media Specialist

and give service to others. The illustrations are beautiful.”—Jan B., early childhood educator
WINNER! 2008 Moonbeam Children’s Book Award

way as this…. It reads more like a piece of children’s literature

classroom or home.”—Children’s Literature

including a unicorn!”—St. Paul Pioneer Press, “Best Children’s Books”
“As original as it is entertaining...beautifully told and illustrated...highly
recommended for family, school, and community library children’s
picturebook collections.”— Midwest Book Review Children’s Bookwatch

—Margaret McGilvray, Primary Teacher and elementary school Principal (ret.)
“Anyone who works with children and families should order a copy for your school,
agency, or support group. Great for families with kids who have ADHD, Autism,
or struggle with emotional disorders. I give it a 5!”—Education Book Reviews

life—though stressful for a special-needs child—can be beautiful.”
—John F. Taylor, Ph.D., author, The Survival Guide for Kids with ADD or ADHD

perfect portrayal of the joy a child with special needs brings to a family.”
