In celebration of Taste of Doodleville week at Doodle Day Camp, our Buffalo-area centers welcomed local author, Lisa Abbott, for a fun reading of her book, I Dig Figs. The story took summer campers on a nutritional journey through the alphabet, introducing a healthy food for each letter along with their nutritional benefits. In addition to the story, Lisa brought several foods for the children to touch and smell. We touched and smelled ginger root, figs, turmeric, kale and more!

Nutrition and fitness have always been an important part of her life and has a vested interest in teaching children of all ages how to make healthy choices in order to lead healthy lives.
