Mother and daughter team Dee and Tamarin Pignéguy have come together to share their passion for health, nutrition and wellbeing to create "Feed Me Right!". The drive behind this book comes from their belief in the importance of education and providing people with factual information about their amazing bodies and food in a fun and exciting way enabling them to make informed and empowering choices.

Imagine knowing how your body works and what to eat to keep yourself healthy.

What difference would this kind of knowledge make in your children's life?

Grass roots nutrition is as important to learn as the other basic life skills of writing, reading and mathematics taught at school.

With rates of childhood obesity and diabetes rising sharply and reported to be the next epidemics of this country, the timing for learning about how to care for our bodies has never been more relevant than now.

Feed Me Right provides factual information in a FUN and INTERACTIVE way so kids learn successful strategies to change their Eating habits.

Feed Me Right is a clever attempt to explain how the right fuel for their body works. It explains what happens to food from the moment it slips past your lips, until it plops out the other end. Its quirky illustrations and lateral approach feel like it would appeal not oly to "young scientists", but also to teenagers who are interested in their sport, and to parents who may find the whole healthy food subject hard to communicate.

If you want your kids to understand the food pryramid, the lifecycle, about fats and carbohydrates, sucrose, bacteria, pH levels, anti-oxidants, processed foods, vegetables, genes, digestion process--it's all in this book!

It has got the feel of a Richard Scary book for older kids on the subject of the body's digestive processes, and the input of the right foods in relation to the output of energy and health.

The Feed Me Right Teacher's Resource is packed with Lesson Plans, Activities and Work Sheets and Wall Charts giving teachers the opportunity to develop and use the nutritional and science ideas in Feed Me Right with students of all ages.

The Feed Me Right Teacher's Resource provides a unique health program that recognises issues and problems common to today's youth.

Easy to use, with plenty of ideas to suit most teaching styles.

This book helps you discover some of nature's best designs and how they have inspired scientists and engineers.

Take boating fun to the next level with this easy to understand guide, the indispensable Boating For All.

Following on from Boating Fun, respected authorities on all things boating Mike and Dee, take sailors who have mastered basic sailing skills to the next level. With years of sailing and teaching experience, the authors write with integrity and a clarity that makes what can be a confusing array of information understandable.

The book includes information on charts, plotting courses, meanings of the various signals seen on the water, boat maintenance, boat handling, safety issues and much more. Activities for testing skills are also included; practice makes perfect as getting something wrong on the water can often be disastrous. One of the main aims of the book is to have the reader become more knowledgeable on the basics of boating, and not have to rely upon electronics for their navigation.

Mike and Dee Pignéguy have been involved in sailing for most of their lives. Mike's family home from the age of four was a boat, and he often crewed for his father, who was a professional yacht skipper.

Mike joined the British Merchant Navy a week after his 16th birthday and at age 25 he was sailing as Chief Officer. Since marrying in 1965, Mike and Dee's lives have been based around ships and boats, including buying the 1909 30m Te Aroha in 1984 and operating her as a charter and cruise boat for 16 years, becoming a familiar sight as it took its passengers sightseeing around the New Zealand coastline. Although land-based now, Mike freelances worldwide as a skipper on a wide variety of commercial vessels and superyachts and is an accredited Coastguard and RYA Tutor. They both still spend an enormous amount of time together on the sea, in their own yacht, and acting as crew on an array of sailing vessels. Mike and Dee are based in Auckland.
