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 in unique settings across the country. Each child also shares a favorite fresh vegetable paired with a fun dip or topping, adding a delicious twist to the learning experience.

Listeners 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 dietetics profession in a kid-friendly way. All author royalties are donated to initiatives that promote diversity within the dietetics workforce.
