The imaginary Land of Jijonia is populated by creatures called Jijons. The book is a tale about chubby Tristan who loves all food very much apart from vegetables which he refers to as those "green and orange things that grow". One day his friends decide that it is time to step in and help him change his dietary habits by introducing him to a magical vegetable stew. Read the book and find out what happened to our hero Tristan and may be you will be able to help your children (and also yourselves) gain new dietary habits as well as self-confidence and a new outlook on life.
