The book's central theme is early learning to instill in younger kids the importance of doing these "three things" everyday so you can be smarter, healthier, and a better/nicer person. The central message is to emphasize examples through colorful art that all kids can relate to and to bring forward the fun in knowing and doing theses activities every day (and why these three things are important). Overall, it's about positive early childhood development......do these three things every day to learn continuously, keep healthy and maximize personal kindness/manners/respect throughout life!
