Are you struggling to get your child to eat? Is your kid choosing sugar over real food? Discover how making the digestive process fun can encourage healthy eating habits!

Introducing Plasma, Pan Pan (the Pancreas), Muscle, and RBC-the tiny heroes inside your child's body! In this vibrant story, children embark on an exciting journey through the digestive system, learning exactly where food goes and why some foods provide slow, steady energy while others trigger a frantic sugar spike and crash.

Alert, Sugar Spike! empowers kids by teaching them the science of sugar metabolism. Young readers will meet the two key hormones that regulate blood sugar-Insulin and Glucagon-and watch as the body's systems team up to fight "Zombie Fats" and balance fuel for the brain, muscles, and heart.

As the flagship title from Research2Reach, this book transforms complex science into accessible, engaging knowledge. It's a perfect STEM resource for early learners, building health literacy and promoting proactive wellness.

For Parents:

A dedicated section at the back translates the scientific principles of the story-including long-term health outcomes-into clear, non-jargon language. This section empowers families to understand, manage, and improve their health based on foundational scientific knowledge.

Empower your family with knowledge. Add Alert, Sugar Spike! to your library today!
