Dr. Towolawi is a double board certified physician and author. She is the founder and medical director of Nurture Well Center — a direct primary care practice with a lifestyle medicine focus based in Shoreline, Washington. She was inspired to write her book: “Ayomide and Seyi’s Kitchen: A kids’ guide to plant-based nutrition from A to Z” as a physician AND as a mom to young children. She realized that if we can get children to make healthier choices as kids — they are more likely to make better health choices around food as adults. 

Ayomide and Seyi’s Kitchen inspires children to develop a love for diverse plant foods at a young age by taking them on a whirlwind alphabet tour. The book is narrated by six year old Ayomide who takes you on a fictional tour of various plant-based foods, including some interesting facts – with his four year old little sister, Seyi, alongside him. This ABC book is a “bite-sized” course on plant-based nutrition while keeping readers engaged through beautiful illustrations. Families are encouraged to try some of the foods mentioned in the book and start getting creative in the kitchen … TOGETHER!

Dr Towolawi will be giving readings throughout the day on Saturday May 13, in the book reading section near the Vegfest Bookstore.
