KidLit TV Supports No Kid Hungry #BakeItForward
This holiday season, Food Network is teaming up with No Kid Hungry to make sure no child grows up hungry in America. No Kid Hungry is an organization that works together to end child hunger in America by connecting kids in need with nutritious food and teaches their families how to cook healthy, affordable meals. The campaign also appoints the public to make ending child hunger a national priority.
According to No Kid Hungry one in five children struggles with hunger. The No Kid Hungry campaign is made up of private citizens, government officials, business leaders, and others providing innovative hunger solutions in their communities.

According to the Chicago Tribune:
Children need the right foods to keep them going through the day so they can carry out their tasks of learning, playing and growing. Healthy food will give them enough energy to last the school day and will also provide the building blocks for a healthy adult. — Chicago Tribune reporting on the University of Alberta's research
We also agree with the National Education Association that “eating breakfast at school helps children perform better.”
Studies published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, the International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition, and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition show that academic achievement among students who eat school breakfasts tends to rise, especially in math. — NEA
KidLit TV also has a cooking segment where the authors, illustrators and kid lit experts bake a treat from their books! Joyce Wan, Kat Yeh have their own StoryMaker episode dedicated to the delicious treats in their books. These episodes are perfect for holiday baking treats and bringing family and friends together!
Join us in celebrating family, food, and fun in the KidLit TV kitchen! These shows teach not only parents and teachers, but kids how to bake these treats that will bring the entire family together. What are you going to do to end child hunger? Let us know!
