Everyone is talking about the importance of eating a rainbow diet. But, what's in it for kids? A new Children's book, Discover the MAGIC of Rainbows, is a delightful story designed to teach kids about the rainbow of fresh fruit and vegetables and what's in it for them to eat the rainbow. The whimsical story has a colorful cast of characters on an adventure. Kids will be engaged in the search while learning where whole food comes from and the benefits of eating the colors.

Dick Evans, a Traverse City cartoonist, has written and illustrated a magical story in which Annie Oxidant and her dog Phyto, follow a rainbow seeking treasure. They are disappointed when it ends at a farmer's produce stand.
