Why I Wrote “What Will Suzy Eat?” A Breakfast Adventure About Real Energy
My latest picture book, What Will Suzy Eat? is launching on April 23rd
ISBN: 978-1-7389727-5-3
Hi friends,
I’m so excited to finally share something new with you! My latest picture book, What Will Suzy Eat?, is launching on April 23rd, and I can’t wait for you to meet Suzy.
She is a bright, bouncy six-year-old who starts her day like many kids. She stares at the usual sugary cereal, pancakes, and jams. But one ordinary morning, a sparkling rainbow whisks her away on a magical adventure through the Breakfast Realm.
Suzy slides down giant breadstick slides, bounces on giant marshmallows, and faces a silly Sugar Dragon. Along the way, she discovers that fruits and vegetables aren’t just “healthy”. They are full of steady, happy energy that lets her run, play, and explore all day long without the big crash.
Healthy kids become healthy adults
This story is close to my heart as it’s the second of my Timmy & Suzy series (you already met Timmy in 2024 eating high-protein meaty foods). I wanted to create a fun way to talk about plant-based foods with young children for my vegan friends. Instead of rules or “you should eat this,” the book shows how colourful fruits and veggies can feel exciting and powerful. Suzy learns that a little treat is okay, but the real superpower comes from nature’s rainbow plate. I hope families will read it together and have fun conversations at the breakfast table: “Which fruit or veggie would give you super zingies today?”
The illustrations are bright and full of whimsy. Suzy with her flying pigtails, her playful kitty companion inspired by our own little Smokey, and a world where food comes alive. It’s the kind of story I wish I had when I was a kid.
What Will Suzy Eat? is perfect for ages 4–9 and makes a wonderful addition to bedtime or mealtime reading. Want to experience the story?
