A former South Texas teacher has created a children's book series aimed at promoting healthier choices and combating obesity and diabetes. The idea for the series was born out of a personal tragedy, after the teacher lost two siblings to diabetes. The series is designed to encourage kids to be more active, read more, and make healthier choices.

It is the result of an idea that came to the teacher during a difficult time in his life. Further details about the book series and the teacher's story are available from KPRC 2 Houston, the source of this information.
