we are going to have.  This book tells a

story about a six year old girl named Isabel,

who visits a place called Health Land.  After her

visit Isabel realizes that her Mom and Dad may

have also visited Health Land.  They all learn

I looked outside and it was a sunny afternoon.  The sky was a blue blanketed ocean that had airy cotton balls floating around.  As I went outside in my backyard to play I could hear birds singing their songs of springtime.

Then a sound away I heard Mom, "Isabel it’s time for Lunch".  I went over to the patio and knew in an instant Dad had cooked his famous hamburgers on our grill.  The aroma traveled like a breezey wind passing through.

Lunch was soon over and it was time to play.  Mom and I had the energy of wild horses  as we played keep the ball from Dad.  I thought we were playing for hours when Mom and Dad were suddenly tired.  There fifteen minutes were up.  They each took a deep breath.  It was their time clock going off again, their usual quitting time.

 I ran over to Mom and Dad and asked, "What does healthy mean?"  Mom and Dad explained that to be healthy is to feel great with endless energy.  They said, "It is time for a change, we need to eat more fruit and vegetables .

I am so excited .  I love to learn about new things.  I could not stop thinking about what this change will do for us.  I then heard Mom say, “Isabel, it’s time for your nap!"

I went up to my room and Mom tucked me into bed and something happened.  I was no longer in my bedroom.

It was a green field  that looked like lettuce mom used to put in salad.  I saw a large archway  made from two celery stalks with a sign that said, "Welcome to Health Land".  A red path of raspberries led to a rainbow waterfall.  As I walked on the raspberry path my steps made a slushy  sound. My feet were turning red from the raspberries and the sound of the rainbow waterfall grew louder and louder.

I soon began to feel tired as I arrived at the waterfall and noticed why it had so many colors.  It was orange juice, blueberries, bananas, cherries and lemons.  The waterfall created a lake that looked like a smoothie.

Drinking straws suddenly appeared in the lake as if they were asking me to try some.  I sipped some of the lake which was a sweet taste and it was then that I started to feel more awake.  I was no longer tired.

It was a pyramid, just like the ones in Egypt.  As I came upon it, I saw that it was not made from sand.  It had levels of different types of food.  It had steps to walk up so I starting climbing.

The first level had breads, cereal, rice, crackers and pasta.  The second level had vegetables of green lettuce, broccoli, orange carrots and yellow corn.  As I got to the third level I saw fruits of grapes, strawberries, peaches, apples and bananas.  The fourth level was all white, it was milk.  I saw yogurts and cheeses floating.  The fifth level was like a BBQ.  There was chicken, steak, fish and different nuts roasting.  The ground looked like snow, it was covered in sunflower seeds.

I was now at the top of the pyramid and started to feel hungry.  As I started my way down I took a bite from the grilled chicken and grabbed some nuts.  The milk on the level below quenched my thirst and I saved some cheese for later.  As I ate some strawberries I started to get full and decided  that I will need some food for my journey home.  I took an apple, and then some carrots and celery.

When I reached the bottom of the pyramid I took some crackers for my cheese and some cereal that I knew was ok to eat.  I headed back to the waterfall to take one last look.

I started my journey back to the entrance when I started nibbling on the snacks I took from the pyramid.  Again I felt more energized.

Mom and Dad would sure like it here. This place is beautiful and healthy and gives you endless energy.  We could play longer together and be healthier.  I then heard a soft voice.

It was the voice of Mom.  Mom was whispering to me, “Isabel, it’s time to wake up”.  I then opened my eyes to see my Mom next to me.  I was in my bedroom and realized  I was dreaming.

As I sat down in my chair, I saw desert on the counter behind Dad.  There were three dishes of yogurt and colorful toppings of fresh fruits and nuts.

I asked Mom and Dad why our dinner and desert looked so deliciously  prepared  and organized.  They replied, “Isabel, you were talking in your sleep again and your visions  sounded so good.
