Buddies in My Belly | A Story About Probiotics | Making Healthy Living Fun for The Whole Family!

This book is so great for kids. I found out about it through an Ali Miller podcast and decided to buy it for my 3 year old son. I've been telling him that he has tiny little "workers" in his body that can't take care of him if he doesn't feed them the right foods. So this book goes very nicely with what I've been teaching him. I love the illustrations, making it fun and cute and comprehensible for children. And i love the examples given of what the "buddies" need. My boy loves this book, and now when eating he'll often ask if his buddies are eating/drinking what he's having, and asks if it's healthy for them. I hope Sarah comes out with more great books like this!

This book is so fun to read! It has great illustrations and explains what probiotics do and how to get more of them in your belly. From digesting your food, pooping, and protection against colds and sore throats, buddies in your belly will help you be in a good mood and feel good so you can do all the things you like to do! Educate your family with this fun book!

This book really described how food affects the bacteria in our gut and what kids can do to help their "friends" out with eating the right foods. It also described what would happen if the wrong foods were eaten. It put words and pictures together in a way that really made sense to my daughter and helped me understand clearer as well. At the very end of the book is a GREAT food chart for kids to track their progress on feeding their buddies

My toddler loves this book - so much so that she memorized it and "reads" it to me. Whenever I need her to eat some vegetables, I just say, "the buddies in your belly really like and need that broccoli to keep you healthy", and she eats it! Amazing. Fabulous book, and I'll get her the stuffed probiotic action figures for Christmas!

This was a wonderful way to further explain the importance of eating well to my 6 year old. It was as if a light finally went off, and he was excited to replace certain snack items with fruits during the school day. I wish there were more books like this!

As a mom, health coach and physical therapist, I LOVE teaching health-promoting skills to my kids. This book has already been helpful to empower my kids to want to eat a variety of plant based foods. They love to see what foods keep their "buddies" healthy and happy. Gut health is a hugely important topic and one that has the power to shift the trajectory of your kids life. I highly recommend this for all families!

This book is great for kids to learn about probiotics and healthy eating. My daughter asks when she eats if a food will help her belly buddies. I also use this at work with my patients who are picky eaters or have problems going to the bathroom regularly.

This has changed the way my four year old son looks at food. He now considers whether a food is healthy for his “buddies” or not. It’s a cute story but well-grounded in science too. Perfect explanation of probiotics for kids of all ages.
