NEW YORK, Jan 31, 2008 PRNewswire -- Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York, and New York Times bestselling children's illustrator, Robin Preiss Glasser, are joining forces to create a picture book, entitled TEA FOR RUBY, about the virtues of manners and etiquette. "I was raised to appreciate that there is a time and place for manners, not just for the sake of following rules but rather because etiquette and good manners show courtesy and respect. I've raised my girls as part of the royal family according to this philosophy," said the Duchess. "Now I can pass along this message to princesses everywhere, and I'm thrilled to do it with the brilliant bestselling illustrator, Robin Preiss Glasser."

Experts agree that a nourishing breakfast is essential for children supported by research that shows that children who eat breakfast perform better in school and have general overall better health. Study after study have shown that children who eat a balanced breakfast test scores improve, speed and memory skills improve, absenteeism and tardiness decline, as do discipline problems and school nurse visits.
There’s no debate that children need to eat breakfast. Why then do so many children arrive to school hungry? Some children are simply finicky eaters or so time-crunched that they routinely skimp or skip out on breakfast. For others having breakfast may not be a matter of choice because millions of American children living below the poverty level do not get enough to eat.
The good news is there’s no reason for any child to miss breakfast. I am spearheading a pro-breakfast campaign for Breakfast Breaks , a simple breakfast meal in a kit that is a popular mainstay in federally funded school breakfast programs and now it’s also available in home version available at supermarkets. |
