Healthy Kids Book Giveaway

Healthy Kids Book Review and Giveaway on Kids Yoga Stories

Healthy Kids Book Review and Giveaway by Kids Yoga Stories and Kids Fit Publishing

At the end of the post, enter the contest via the Rafflecopter online giveaway tool.

I’m excited to introduce you to Katherine Karagiannis Richards, author of a new fitness children’s book called My Favorite Run.  Katherine and I share a similar mission of impacting children’s health through leading active lifestyles.  I just had to share this book with you because I love it, and it’s from a new author that you might not have had the chance to see it yet.

Katherine has been a runner since she was young.  She continues to be an avid road racer and trail runner.  Now, as a mom of two with one more on the way, she often runs with her children.  Katherine is the best role model for her children as they, too, enjoy the benefits of physical activity.  Like a lot of us moms, once she had her children, she began to reassess what was important to her and followed her passion of sharing the joy of health and fitness with other families through her children’s books.  Her Fit Kids Publishing company was born in 2012, and My Favorite Run is her first book.

Mom and daughter running

Running with her little girl was the inspiration for Katherine’s book.  The life-like illustrations by Vicky Fieldhouse are charming and engaging.  The story is based on a true story of a mother and daughter bonding over a shared experience together—in this case, a morning run.  It starts with the daughter asking to join her mom’s run.  I could relate to this part of the story because my toddler always wanted to join me for runs in San Francisco in her stroller.  The daughter is at first distracted by animals along the road.  I love the addition of noticing nature while running; it’s certainly a major benefit over running on a treadmill.  The story continues with things they experience on the run, like talking to a neighbor, tripping up on the sidewalk, pushing hard to get up a hill, and stopping to smell the flowers.  The dad and brother are there to greet them at the end of their run.  It’s a darling story.

Healthy fitness kids book with mom and daughter titled My Favorite Run

As a former teacher, I am always looking for books with a purpose.  My Favorite Run is a brilliant book to share with your children to discuss the benefits of fitness.  I also love that the book promotes fitness shared by children and parents, and they need only a pair of shoes. There’s no driving across town for paid classes, just a good old-fashioned fun together right in their own neighborhood.  Sometimes, we need to be reminded to get back to the basics.
