The more positive experiences we associate with vegetables throughout our childhood, the more likely we are to continue those healthy habits throughout our lives."</p><p>- <em>SeAnne Safaii-Waite, PhD, RDN, LD, Associate Professor of Foods & Nutrition, University of Idaho </em></p><p> </p><p>"<em>ABC Veggies</em> has both familiar and unfamiliar vegetables that add to food vocabularies for both children and the adults who read the book with them. The close-up photographs offer discussion possibilities that could lead to a grocery store visit to see and buy these vegetables, and to ultimately try them."</p><p><em>-Janice Fletcher, EdD, Professor Emerita of Child, Family, and Consumer Studies at the University of Idaho</em></p><br>
