Here’s the set-up:

Are you always helping picky eaters in your home? Is meal-time always a battle? Let the Dinner Fairy cast a spell on your kids so they don’t run the risk of Growing Down Instead of Up!

Emerson and Griffin hate dinner – they are fussy eaters that have much more fun away from the table. They’ll never eat their food despite Mom and Dad telling them how important it is to help them grow big and strong.

That’s until they receive a mysterious visit from the Dinner Fairy, who warns them:

“Little ones need food to grow and milk to drink from cups.
For every meal you DON’T eat well, you’ll grow DOWN instead of UP!”

Not convinced, they test her theory with disastrous results. What has the Dinner Fairy done and can they work out how to get themselves back to their real size?

Author Adrienne Rogers has turned her dinner time frustrations into a beautiful and hilarious rhyming picture book perfect for helping picky eaters consider being brave with food. Growing Down Instead of Up stands nicely alongside iconic books for picky eaters like Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss and bestseller My Magical Foods by Becky Cummings, with its different approach to helping fussy eaters.

Trying new foods and encouraging healthy eating for kids with a “I choose to try again” attitude is important in every home. So read Growing Down Instead of Up and bring peace and healthy eating to your dinner table.
