Eating Healthy. Growing Strong

By Mickey Mellen | June 9, 2011

The Alliance for a Healthier Generation and the American Academy of Pediatrics have joined with the best-selling children’s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle to help families learn about healthy eating habits.


The Very Hungry Caterpillar eats many foods on his journey to becoming a butterfly. You can help your child on his or her own journey to grow up healthy and strong. To help you in this journey, we have created the following resources:

  • Tips for Healthy Eating at Home Simple tips from the Alliance for a Healthier Generation and the American Academy of Pediatrics for eating healthy with your kids at home. 
  • Reading Guide Discuss healthy active living using The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle!
  • Growth Chart (PDF) Download a special The Very Hungry Caterpillar growth chart and keep track of your child’s journey to becoming healthy & strong.
  • Learn more about the collaborators and the campaign. 
    Find out how this collaboration started and explore additional resources available for parents and healthcare professionals    .
