Hopefully, we can help parents enable their kids to eat with the brain in mind. We also offer recipes, not included in our book, on our Brain Food website. How the brain develops and what it needs at age 2 is quite different than what it requires at age 14. That's why we broke down these ages and stages in the book so you can see how their eating needs to change to match their physical, emotional, and mental needs.
BEA is a huge book convention with thousands of books on display for retailers to choose from. It is overwhelming and tiring to see all of it. I loved that there was an entire floor of the exhibit hall dedicated to the children's market. It's nice to see how this market is still booming.
At the Writers' Digest Writers' Conference, one of our speakers said that publishing is "flat" right now...he believes we can blame JetBlue airlines for that. They provide in seat satellite tv in every seat, so passengers no longer read on their flights. But I have to say, that spending this week in NY gave me hope. There were people reading EVERYWHERE. I should have taken pictures of every time I saw someone reading: on the subway, on the ferry, on the bus, in a cab, on the elevator, riding down an escalator, walking along the street, on a bench in the park, on the steps to a church, in a cemetary, in line almost anywhere, and even (now don't freak out) WHILE DRIVING A CAB! I'm grateful reading is not dead!
