Effie Panagopoulou’s latest book, ‘Theodore and the Adventure of Healthy Eating’ addresses a vital issue for young readers, managing healthy eating and bullying.

The author’s clear and engaging writing makes the book accessible to both children and adults.

Illustrated by Chrisa Roma, Theodore is part of Panagopoulou’s ‘Children Talk to Us’ series, which explores young people’s experiences and challenges.

The book follows Theodore, a pre-adolescent boy, as he tackles challenges at school due to his weight, facing negativity from peers.

Despite his hurdles, the hero displays remarkable resilience, refusing to succumb to negativity and maintaining a positive attitude.

His journey toward healthier eating becomes a quest for overall well-being that extends beyond food choices.

The book’s launch coincided with the event “Having Fun with Type 1” by Vivi Balaskas Henderson, bringing together leading healthcare professionals to discuss general health, nutrition, and well-being in young people. Theodore’s story resonated with the event’s theme, showcasing a positive approach to overcoming challenges.

Published by ANTHOS MCE, the book delivers a clear message: confront obstacles with optimism.

It underscores the connection between nutrition and a strong sense of self-worth.
