“Thank you for the opportunity to participate in such a wonderful venue. Your message of good nutrition and you are what you eat as told

through "Is Your Hair Made of Donuts?" is well delivered and understood by the children who participated. Mission accomplished!”

Joy Feldman has developed a clever and entertaining way to help children understand that what they put into their bodies really does matter. I’m glad so many of our state’s children have been able to hear her message and learn about the importance of eating nutritious food.

"The All State Read of Is Your Hair Made of Donuts? helps us as a community to focus in on awareness  around healthy eating for children at a young age."

Great way to make learning fun!  Reading Is Your Hair Made of Donuts?, a book all about nutrition is important in a time where children’s health and obesity are significant issues. The All State Read helps to highlight and incorporate the essential healthful ideas into wellness lifestyles for our young people.

"This event was exciting and important because it was a Collaboration –  Members of the community all across the entire state were all involved. It was not only happening at the district level, but the state level, focusing on healthy nutrition which is important to the schools and to the children."

I was honored to be a part of such a wonderful day with a grrrreat message.  Count me in for next year!

An outstanding event where all students gathered, excited and passionate to learn about eating healthy!

The highlight of the event was the importance of the message that was delivered- - healthy eating and excellent nutrition conveyed to children across the state in many different settings. Congratulations on a successful statewide event.

The All State read is an excellent combination of two positive concepts: a.) promoting reading and literacy; b.) teaching nutrition, good health and eating properly. It is a clever idea! What better way  is there -- to get in front of kids and talk to them about a positive message.

Thank you for making a difference, Joy! I am so proud that UNFI was able to help!

We had an amazing day at Nayatt participating in the All State Read.  The book was delightful to share and increased awareness for all the children on healthy eating.  Our librarian, Mrs. Bertoncini, was a big hit as she wore a custom made "donut head piece". We had a special guest reader, Alison Bologna, from channel 10 which was exciting.  Mr. Moran, our physical education teacher, had a great

day participating in the read as well.  Health, wellness and nutrition is an important topic that can unite a whole school and community together, while still being fun.  Thank you Joy for providing this opportunity to our school!
