Author Visit Overview	Carol's books were written to inspire our young people to stay healthy and fit by eating nutritionally packed food and by participating for fun and fitness in a variety of physical activities such as running, bike riding and snowshoeing. "Happy Feet, Healthy Food is the first book to recognize that we must begin to teach our kids about good health and nutrition at a very early age. When we wait longer, as we have for too long, we end up raising kids who are ... out-of-shape." Amby Burfoot, Executive Editor Runner's World Magazine - April, 2004 "Carol Goodrow offers inspiration to all ages. Her books focus on the importance of exercise and healthy eating." Pamela Sacks, Telegram and Gazette - May 2006 "She (Goodrow) involved students in the process of editing her second book, The Treasure of Health and Happiness. She is also a classroom teacher and she works on literacy at the grass-roots level. " Council President Martha Strachan, Central Massachusetts branch of the International Reading Organization. - April, 2007
