BCNH student published her first book



Avocado to Zucchini (published by AuthorHouse) is an illustrated A to Z of fruit and vegetables for children.

Rhea Hayes is a former model and student nutritionist. She is passionate about educating children about the benefits of fruit and vegetables, why they should be a crucial part of everyone’s diet, and why they can be cool and interesting.

Childhood Obesity has become a serious issue in modern Britain. Avocado to Zucchini is a book that will help children start off on the right track and get those disinterested in healthy food back on the wagon!

Rhea explains to children how they grow (i.e. on a tree or plant), their nutritional content, and why such nutritional content is good for the body. At the same time they will also be taught really interesting facts about each fruit or vegetable, such as why carrots help us to see in the dark, and what the Romans ate to stop them going bald!

Through her background in Pharmacy, Rhea learnt that medication isn’t always the answer. She realised that it must be better to try and prevent illnesses rather than treat the symptoms, when it’s often too late.

This book appeals to readers as it is an exciting and educational read for children and adults alike. And if nutrition is taught at an early age it will help children to grow and develop into healthy adults. This book aims to teach children information that they can build on through their formative years and beyond.

About the author: Rhea is a former model through Barbara Daley and was a L’Oreal Colour Trophy model, she is now a student nutritionist and healthy eating campaigner; she wanted to write a book aimed at children that would inspire them to get interested in fruit and embrace vegetables.
