On the occasion of World Food Day, BARBA STATHIS unveiled its new educational initiative, centered around the children’s book “Hello, Vegetable! How Are You?”. The book is distributed free of charge to kindergartens and primary schools across Greece, giving young students a creative and imaginative way to discover vegetables and understand the value of a balanced diet.
Written by Antonis Papatheodoulou and illustrated by Iris Samartzis, the book was developed under the scientific guidance of the organization “Matheno Diatrofi” (Learn Nutrition) and has already reached more than 500 kindergartens and primary schools throughout the country. Aimed at children aged four to ten, the book tells a whimsical, pressure-free story that invites kids to explore the colorful world of vegetables and embrace balanced eating habits in a simple, positive, and genuinely fun way!
