Alphabet with Fruit and Veg - Alyssa A B

Dear Reader,

My name is Alyssa A B, I'm 10 years old and am a pupil at a Primary School in Reading (UK).

I have written and illustrated this book because I think it is important that everybody includes fruits and vegetables in their diet so that we are healthy. I also think that children would be encouraged to eat fruits and vegetables if the advice came from a child, like themselves.

A few years ago, I disliked having fruits and vegetables, only preferring sweet puddings, but then I started to put on weight and it hurt my back.

My mother also got a letter from a nurse after I was weighed at school to say that I was a little overweight for my age and height.

This upset me a little bit, so I stopped snacking on sweet puddings. I still eat puddings but not as much as I used to. I now eat a lot of fruits and vegetables too.

As part of my success story, I will also be shooting a dance exercise video for children, soon.
