Happy National Read a Book Day!

Books can spark healthy habits early on. That’s why the NKFM created Regie’s Rainbow Adventure®, a fun, educational series that helps young children learn about eating colorful fruits and vegetables.

Each story follows Regie, a broccoli superhero, on exciting adventures to different islands based on the colors of the rainbow. These books encourage kids to try new foods, stay active, and make healthy choices.
