A book I wish I'd had as a child. It's delightful and educational. * GABY ROSLIN *
A fabulous story that every kid should read. This is science made hugely entertaining. * KEITH CHAPMAN, Creator of Paw Patrol *
This great book could change kids' diet forever. * TIM SPECTOR *
It is exciting to see children's books, like this one, explain nutrition not just in terms of vitamins or heart health, but through the lens of the gut microbiome. * Rhiannon Lambert, Nutritionist. *
It is a wonderful example of how complex science can be translated into a story that genuinely resonates with children. By personifying the gut microbiome as a cast of curious, energetic characters, it makes an otherwise abstract scientific concept concrete, relatable and joyful for young minds. * Dr Federica Amati, Gut health scientist *
