Meet The Author

As a working mother with two small children, Candice Imwalle understands the challenge of incorporating healthy eating into daily life. In her job as a medical devices regional manager she encounters patients regularly who suffer from vascular disease and Type 2 Diabetes, most commonly caused by a lifetime of poor food choices. Inspired by her job, and the rising obesity rates for both children and adults in the United States, Imwalle decided to search for children’s books about the effects of an unhealthy lifestyle for her kids to read.

To her disappointment, she was unable to find any age appropriate books that fit the bill. The lack of options for this kind of children’s literature motivated Imwalle to write her own book – Sir Morgan and the Kingdom of Horrible Food. With a drive to educate children early, so they make good food choices and have a healthy adult life, Imwalle enlisted the writing help of her daughter Isabella (age five) and son Cameron (age eight) to assure the book was fun and interesting to younger readers.

This book provides a great opportunity for parents to start a dialogue with their children about making healthy food decisions and the impact these choices can have on a person’s health, body and the way they feel overall.

Imwalle’s literary goal with her first book is to have children understand eating low sugar and whole foods is important for a lifetime of good health and to inspire parents not only to be actively involved in the foods their children eat, but remind them that teaching children about good nutrition and a healthy diet is one of the most important lessons we can teach our children.
