Rice To The Rescue!

Etaine Raphael returns to the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate her new children's book series called The Rumbly Tummy Adventures. The first book is called Rice to the Rescue. Etaine explains that the series was created in partnership with Edmundite Missions to teach children about nutrition in a fun way through stories featuring fairies, dragons, and adventures. Each book also includes easy recipes. Etaine discusses working with the community in Selma, Alabama to ensure the books and recipes are culturally relevant and use affordable ingredients. She acknowledges criticism may come from focusing less on health and more on accessibility, but feels it's important to start with small improvements. Etaine shares details about Rice to the Rescue's story and characters. Jed commends Etaine for her work with Edmundite Missions to address food insecurity through literacy and family engagement.
