The Happy Family Organic
Superfoods Cookbook For
Baby & Toddler The Nature Fix: Why Nature
Makes us Happier, Healthier,
and More Creative
by Shazi Visram (Author), Cricket Azima
(Contributor) by Florence Williams
Give your baby and toddler the best
start in life by feeding them nutrient-rich
superfoods in easy-to-prepare recipes
created by Shazi Visram—the founder and
CEO of Happy Family Organics, one of the
fastest-growing organic food companies
in the US—and Cricket Azima, founder
and CEO of The Creative Kitchen and
celebrated chef. With more than 70 easy-
to-prepare recipes made with all-natural
ingredients, The Happy Family Organic
Superfoods Cookbook offers a fresh,
nutritious and accessible approach—and
Shazi’s enlightened nutrition philosophy—
to feeding children from four months to
three years.
In this informative and entertaining
account, Williams investigates cutting-
edge research as she travels to fragrant
cypress forests in Korea to meet the
rangers who administer “forest healing
programs,” to the green hills of Scotland
and its “ecotherapeutic” approach to
caring for the mentally ill. She's then
off to a river trip in Idaho with Iraqi
vets suffering from PTSD, to the West
Virginia mountains where she discovers
how being outside helps children with
ADHD. The Nature Fix demonstrates that
our connection to nature is much more
important to our cognition than we think
and that even small amounts of exposure
to the living world can improve our
creativity and enhance our mood.
