    About the Book

    Jolene Adventures of a Junk Food Queen

    Jolene: Adventures of a Junk Food Queen

    Created by Alexa Palmer and Catharine Kaufman

    Illustrated by John Martinez and Hayden Mills

    Ages 4-10 | 60 Pages

    Publisher: Palmer and Kaufman | ISBN-13: 978-0-615136301

    Publisher’s Book Summary: Jolene loves junk food. She loves it so much she wears red licorice in her hair–and pink taffy underwear! The Munch Bunch calls her “The Junk Food Queen.” Then, one night in her dreams, she meets a bunch of cool characters who take her on an incredible, edible journey into a world of juicy fruits, super salads, and yummy smoothies.

    Jolene: Adventures of a Junk Food Queen naturally lends itself to lessons on nutrition that would be easily adaptable for every level from preschool through grade school. The authors have also included recipes for healthy smoothies at the back of the book, which makes it even more fun!

    Catharine Kaufman: Author Headshot

    About Catharine Kaufman

    Catharine is a nationally syndicated food columnist, blogger, author, magazine writer and TV chef. She credits her growing expertise in good nutrition for her survival and recovery from breast cancer and shares that expertise to help keep her family, friends and fans in good health. Writing her columns under the moniker “The Kitchen Shrink,” Catharine dispenses advice on topics that include smart grocery shopping, food facts and folklore, unforgettable dinners on a shoestring, solving cooking disasters and putting the skids on colds, flu and other ailments with healing ‘food chemistry.’

    Showing off her humorous culinary savvy, Catharine was featured in a “Kitchen Shrink” mini series produced by Time-Warner, which included such segments as Kitchen Play Date with Kids, and Pantry Preparedness. She also did a stint as radio host and sidekick of restaurant reviewer and food guru Merrill Shindler on KLSX, Los Angeles. As a founder and partner of www.FreeRangeClub.com, the healthy gourmet cooking and food safety blog, Catharine has been garnering kudos from foodies around the world for her featured columns on that long-established site.

    Through its offbeat humor, Catharine’s well-received children’s book with collaborator Alexa Palmer, “Jolene – Adventures of a Junk Food Queen,” motivated her two daughters and other children to participate in her cooking classes, as well as to acquire healthier eating habits than many of their peers. “Jolene…” has also been endorsed by the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and is being sold on Amazon and other outlets. Ever since discovering her inner foodie, Catharine has been in her element, focusing her energy and passion on weaning as many people—but especially children and young adults—off toxic foods and guiding them on a fun journey to healthy living.

    Thanks for following along with us on the Jolene: Adventures of a Junk Food Queen Awareness Tour sponsored by Alexa Palmer.

    3. Jamie Martin on September 19, 2022 4:10 pm

      Do you have any advice for new writers?

    5. Barbara on September 19, 2022 6:55 pm

      I would like to read this book. It would be a tough choice whether to give the book to my son for his classroom or keep it for the grandchildren. It would reach more children at the school so sharing it would probably be best.

      Just a wonderful story to read to the children, I am a former teacher then got RSd so battling that for awhile but that didn’t stop me from helping the neighbors children to read as we live in a rural area there aren’t many tutors here. Also to send to my grandkids who live in Ca as their mom is studying to be a teacher and their dad loves to read to them as he remembers all the books we used to read!

    33. gloria patterson on September 30, 2022 3:17 pm
