About Eat Your Peas
Words for the heart. Wisdom for the journey.
At the heart of each Eat Your Peas book is a drop-everything promise to be there for someone special during times of heartache and hilarity. Originally inspired by a teen named Maddy, author Cheryl Karpen wanted to give this amazing young person a nightstand promise— a promise to be there to listen and lean on. With over one million copies sold, today the fifteen title Eat Your Peas Gift Book Collection, has an encouraging and uplifting message for individuals ages 5 to 105—living proof that an “I care” message has far reaching tendrils into the heart of humanity. Today a whole new generation is embracing the PEAS promise with our new 2017 edition books featuring updated sentiments and even more spirited art.
Artfully hand-illustrated by artist Sandy Fougner, each book is 72 pages, four-color and is accompanied by a decorative envelope for easy mailing and gift giving. Won’t you sneak a peek?
