It's okay to not eat your peas

Loved reading this book cover to cover! I literally did not put it down until I completed it. This is a positive, feel good book. At times many of us function in this fast pace world forgetting about the small, simple moments. Many of these moments shape us. This book reminds us that these situations bring happiness and positive memories. All which contribute to who we are. Sometimes, it IS okay to not eat your peas!
