Book excerpt: "Henry Gets Moving" is a 32 page bilingual children's book promoting exercise and healthy eating habits for children. It's the story of a young hamster who moves to a new town with his family, gets lonely, stops playing outside, watches too much TV, spends too much time playing video games and starts gaining weight and slowing down. When school starts he finds he can't keep up with the other kids on the playground and has trouble concentrating in school. He makes a new friend, Jasmine, who loves to play, and happily includes Henry in her activities. Henry and his family visit a new doctor who encourages them to do 2 simple things: eat well and exercise. Henry starts making simple changes and finds out how much fun they can be. He plays at least 60 minutes a day; he limits his TV and video game time; he starts loving fruits and vegetables. Henry's family starts being more active and they do all sorts of fun things together. Jasmine and Henry play soccer, tennis, basketball, football, skateboard, dance, and romp around the playground. Pretty soon his old clothes don't fit; he has more energy than ever; his concentration in school improves and he's making new friends. When Henry gets moving he gets happy and healthy.
