We at the Children's Better Health Institute have a constant need for
high quality stories, articles,
and activities with health related stories,
articles, and activities with health-related themes. "Health" is a
broad
topic that includes exercise, sports, safety, nutrition, hygiene, and drug education. Health information can be presented
in a variety of formats, including fiction, nonfiction, poems, recipes, and puzzles. Fiction stories with a health message
need not have health as the primary subject, but they should include it in some way in the course of events. Characters in
fiction should adhere to good health practices, unless failure to do so is necessary to a story's plot.
