You Can Be Healthy

A Fun Illustrated Book That Shows Kids the Importance of Fitness!

Violet is an active girl who loves to play games with her neighborhood friends and eats a healthy diet. But when her PE teacher in school announces there will be a 1-mile run the next day, she worries she isn’t fit enough because she doesn’t play a sport like many of her classmates. With her parents’ encouragements, and an inspiring dream, Violet feels ready to take on the mile.

Along with showing the importance of being active, this story is also for kids who do things their own way. In Violet’s case we find out there are different ways to achieve fitness.

This second book in a series of kids overcoming everyday hurdles is written by Sandrina Kurtz, and delightfully illustrated by John Kurtz.
