HAWAII DOCTOR PUBLISHES EDUCATIONAL ADVENTURE STORY FOR KIDS

Hawaii Naturopathic Physician, Dr. Heather Manley, announces the release of Human Body Detectives (HBD): The Lucky Escape, the first activity workbook and audio CD in her HBD series.

HBD is a series of educational adventure stories where two young "Human Body Detectives," Merrin and Pearl, magically enter different systems in the body to solve health mysteries. Through action packed fiction stories, listeners learn how the various systems work and what foods best fuel each system. In The Lucky Escape, the girls embark on a learning journey through the digestive system. The accompanying workbook filled with games and puzzles reinforces what kids have learned from the audio CD story and helps them further understand the importance of maintaining a healthy digestive system.

As a physician and a mother, Manley believes that if children understand how their bodies work, they are more apt to make healthy food and lifestyle choices. She came up with the idea for the HBD series after discovering a lack of books on the market that help kids learn, in a fun way, about how their bodies work.

Manley's goal is to expand the series to at least five books with corresponding DVD's. Merrin and Pearl will next appear in the immune system fending off some bad bug invaders in HBD: The Battle with the Bugs, set for press in September 2009. The detectives' adventures through the circulatory, nervous, and muscular systems will follow.

The activity workbook, audio CD, and DVD packages are geared to serve as tools for families, teachers and home school parents to supplement current science and/or health curricula.

The HBD: Lucky Escape release coordinates with the recent launch of Manley's website, www.drheathernd.com. The site provides a resource for people, especially parents of young children, to learn about preventative health care and taking charge of their family's health.

Dr. Manley is a naturopathic physician licensed in the state of Hawaii. She is a member of the American Association of Naturopathic Medicine and the Hawaii Naturopathic Medicine Association.
