"The innocent wisdom of Three Grin Salad beams with joy as 10 year old Aja King guides other children to living a healthy and happy life. Truly a delight to read and will greatly enhance the lives of children everywhere. I highly recommend this treasure of a book. "

This sweet, fun book is so heartfelt and important to families everywhere. Because it comes from the heart and mind of a child, it doesn't come acrossas a lecture or finger pointing. And yet the ideas it contains are important. A wonderful gift for any child and any family.
“Three Green Salad” was written after 10 year old Aja King got the idea from a home work assignment while attending school in Shanghai, China. The teacher asked the class to come up with a “potion.” Aja wrote a potion for being “mad.” Later she changed the idea around and decided to write recipes for happy feelings. Aja puts grins and laughs, smiles and hurrahs in her recipes. Other recipes call for hugs, kisses, and snuggles. Aja also included a recipe for her favorite “smoothie.” Sandwiched in between her fun filled recipes are ideas on healthy living, including good sleep, good eating habits, and lot of fresh air and outside play. Clever illustrations done by Lisa Taron make the words jump off the page for fun reading. The message of healthy living written for kids by one of their peers makes this a unique and important book. This is a book for the “kid’s library,” for elementary school libraries, and for the pediatrician’s waiting room. A unique challenge for a happier, healthier childhood.
