The country is becoming health conscience and so is the childrens book character Cornbread! Author Vincent Taylor, whos also an elementary school teacher of 19 years, will release his fifth book in the Cornbread series entitled Cornbread and the Healthy Food Challenge on January 16, 2016.
Kids’ book series encourages black children to be health conscious
Taylor is excited about this new book, not because its humorous like the other four chapter books in the series and not because it has the character education trait determination embedded in the storyline. Its because this time hes bringing awareness to diabetes, a disease that continues to affect over 29 million Americans and another 79 million that have prediabetes.
More than likely, all of us know at least one person who has diabetes. Mr. Taylor say, I have family members and close friends who live with this disease every day, and Ive seen how their lives have changed. This was simply my attempt to bring awareness to diabetes and hopefully prevent young boys and girls from experiencing what they have had to experience.
If the contents of his book will help even one child or that childs parents, it will certainly be worth the time and effort he has poured into this literary piece of work.
