“I just wanted to give my endorsement to Beverly. I went to see her speak recently and it has changed my family's life! No more power-struggles at the table, no more picky eaters, no more whining "I want cookies for dinner"! Now my children eat their vegetables, fruits, grains, proteins, and my husband and I just sit back and relax. And I don't even have to make special meals or steam and puree a bunch of vegetables.
She needs to be on Oprah! Seriously! If you get a chance to see her or get the book, it will be worth its weight in gold."
