The Hispanic Health Council in Connecticut is dedicated to “…improv[ing] the health and social well-being of Latinos and other diverse communities. They do this with a variety of activities, including research, services and policy/advocacy.
As an example, their Family Nutrition Program provides “…culturally relevant nutrition education in the form of puppet shows, jeopardy games and interactive educational sessions.”

Comics and Coloring Books Carry Serious Messages
To spread the word about good nutrition, the Hispanic Health Council has produced several fun and easy-to-understand booklets. One is a coloring book for children called From Farm to Table. The booklets are modeled after fotonovelas, picture books popular in Latin America that use photographs and dialog to tell romantic stories. The books, available in English and Spanish, have been used across the country.
