Dear Roosevelt Pitt Jr.,
This is a note of appreciation from a dietitian who loves to cook and who takes great pride in providing healthy and delicious meals for my kids.  While I know all of the dietary “tricks” to getting my kids to eat healthy, there are times when they just don’t work.
When I began reading “Charles The Chef, A Day at the 4 Seasons” to my 4-year-old daughter, she was fascinated.  The journey from farm, store to table is cleverly written and appealing to young children.  This was obvious to me since my daughter picked to read your book every night for over three weeks (and it continues to be one of her favorites)!
One night I had a hard time encouraging my daughter to eat broccoli.  I tried everything…adding cheese, topping it with a little margarine…to no avail.  Then I told her, “Charles the Chef told me that you have to eat your broccoli.”  Within seconds she ate three pieces of broccoli and was so proud of herself saying, “Mommy, now that I ate my broccoli, I will be big and strong!”  Can you imagine?

My sincere and deepest thanks for your work!

Dear Roosevelt:
I wanted to personally thank you for the wonderful event you put on for Hawk Ridge Elementary on Monday, February 23, 2009.  The kids absolutely loved it.  It was informative, educational, and high-energy.

The PTA board has been pleased with how easy you were to work with.  You have been very professional and responsive- a true pleasure.

We love your hard cover book, the Coloring Sheets you provided to the children, and most especially the nice trading cards with the recipes that you gave the children.   Thank you for everything!

I would recommend you to any Elementary School.  Should you want to utilize me as a reference, please don’t hesitate to email me.  I would be happy to do that for you!

Sincerely,
Danna Demos
