Description

Although everyone eats, few people know what dietitians do. As the food and nutrition experts, dietitians help individuals and communities eat well, stay healthy, and thrive. Dietitians work in a wide variety of settings-from hospitals and schools to sports teams, research labs, and even the military.

This vibrant, illustrated nonfiction book introduces children ages 6 to 12 to the exciting and often overlooked career of dietetics. Ten diverse children-representing different races, ethnicities, genders, and disabilities-imagine becoming dietitians and working in 10 unique settings. Each child also shares a favorite fresh vegetable paired with a fun dip or topping, adding a delicious twist to the learning experience. Two activity pages reinforce key concepts.

Readers will:

    • Learn what dietitians do and where they work
    • Discover fun ways to enjoy fresh vegetables
    • See themselves represented in STEM and healthcare careers

Perfect for classrooms, libraries, school counseling offices, career days, and family reading time, When I Grow Up, I Can Be a Dietitian is a joyful and inclusive introduction to a rewarding, science-based profession.

This is the first children's book (to our knowledge) to introduce the profession of nutrition and dietetics in a kid-friendly way.

All book royalties are donated to initiatives that promote diversity within the dietetics workforce.
