"We have long known it takes a village to raise a child, and knowledge of the microbiome has taught us all it takes a village just to be a healthy child. Delivering that information directly to children in an engaging, empowering way is the next crucial step- and it is taken beautifully here." David L. Katz, MD, MPH, FACPM, FACP, FACLM
"The microbiome, is what makes us "tick" on so many levels, physically, mentally and emotionally. When out of balance it can create havoc on our health, on all these levels. It's essentially vital to our well-being. I absolutely adore this book, because in a story format has portrayed this, to bring children and parents aware of this fact. If we can bring the importance of the microbiome to people in this way, I believe we will bring about well-being on the planet because it really does begin at home." Charan Surdhar, Epigeneticist
