Everyone eats, but few people know what dietitians do. “When I Grow Up, I Can Be a Dietitian!” presents a menu of possibilities in the profession of dietetics.

Dietitians are food and nutrition experts who help people and communities eat better, reduce disease risk, manage health conditions, and thrive. Dietitians work in various settings ranging from hospitals and schools to sports teams, research laboratories, and even the military.

This book introduces elementary-school children to the often overlooked career of dietetics. Ten children from diverse backgrounds imagine working as dietitians in 10 real-world settings. Each child shares their favorite fresh vegetable paired with a fun dip or topping, adding a delicious twist to the learning experience. Discussion questions and songs with guitar music about fresh vegetables and dietitians reinforce key concepts. The author's website has free downloadable activity pages.

Readers will:
• Learn how dietitians help people eat better and live healthier lives
• Discover some of the many places dietitians work
• Find fun new ways to enjoy fresh vegetables
• See themselves in healthcare careers

All royalties are donated to efforts to help build the dietetics workforce.

Available in hardcover, paperback, eBook, and audiobook.
