Product Description

Tunde & The Sugar Monster is a powerful children’s educational story series that teaches young readers the hidden dangers of excessive sugar consumption and the importance of making healthy food choices.

Created as part of the HealthsClinic Kids Health Tales collection, this engaging three-book journey follows a young boy named Tunde as he discovers how sugary foods affect his body, his energy, and his ability to learn and play.

Through colorful storytelling, relatable childhood experiences, and memorable characters like the mysterious Sugar Monster, children learn that healthy habits can make them stronger, happier, and more confident.

Each book builds on the previous one, guiding children through a transformation—from unhealthy habits to healthier living.

Book 1 – Tunde Meets the Sugar Monster

In the first story, Tunde loves buying puff-puff and soda from Mama Kemi’s stall after school. But one night, something strange happens.

A sticky creature appears in his dreams—the Sugar Monster, a giant made of sweets and soda bottles that grows bigger every time Tunde consumes sugary foods.

Soon, Tunde begins feeling the effects:

• He struggles to focus during lessons
• He feels weak during football games
• His friends begin teasing him
• He feels tired and unhappy

His wise grandmother notices the problem and gently teaches him an important lesson:

“Too much sweetness blinds the eyes.”

She introduces him to healthier foods like fruits, maize, and groundnuts, explaining that natural foods give real strength.

As Tunde begins choosing healthier snacks like bananas, oranges, and roasted plantain, something magical happens—the Sugar Monster begins to shrink.

The story ends with a powerful message:

Wisdom and healthy choices are sweeter than sugar.

Book 2 – The Sugar Monster Returns

Just when Tunde thinks the Sugar Monster is gone, the battle begins again.

During a birthday celebration filled with cake and fizzy drinks, the mischievous creature suddenly returns.

Temptations appear everywhere:

• friends offering soda
• colorful advertisements promoting sugary drinks
• sweet snacks at school
• hidden candies and treats

With each sugary sip, the monster grows larger and more frightening.

Tunde begins craving sweets again and secretly hides candy wrappers in his drawer.

Soon the consequences become serious:

• the monster towers over him in his dreams
• he feels weak during sports
• he collapses during a football game

Thankfully, the people around him step in to help.

His grandmother reminds him that a sweet tongue can hide bitter poison, and his coach teaches him that strong players fuel their bodies with healthy food.

Tunde begins to understand that real strength comes from what he chooses to eat every day.

Book 3 – Defeating the Sugar Monster

In the final book, Tunde takes everything he has learned and turns it into action.

At school, he boldly proposes a debate titled “Sweet vs. Healthy,” helping classmates understand the dangers of too much sugar.

As students learn shocking health facts, the once-powerful Sugar Monster begins losing its influence.

Tunde becomes a leader among his friends, encouraging healthier habits such as

• choosing fruits instead of sugary drinks
• drinking water instead of soda
• exercising and running with friends
• learning how to prepare traditional nutritious foods

Inspired by his new knowledge, Tunde even encourages Mama Kemi to begin selling fresh fruit juice instead of sugary drinks.

Soon, healthy choices begin spreading throughout the school.

Students organize:

• a Sugar-Free Week challenge
• healthy eating poster competitions
• morning jogging groups called the Health Squad

With every healthy choice the children make, the Sugar Monster grows weaker and smaller until it becomes powerless.
