What this book actually does
The Rechargeables takes the research behind Tom's bestselling Eat Move Sleep and turns it into an adventure that children want to read again and again. Through Poppy and Simon's journey in the village of Verve, kids learn that small daily choices create real energy.
Poppy and Simon discover that movement, real food, and rest bring their village back to life — showing kids healthy habits through adventure, not rules.
Colored lights on each character's shirt shift from red to green as they make better choices — giving children an intuitive way to understand how habits affect how they feel.
Ends with conversation starters for parents and teachers, plus stickers that help kids track their own "recharge" moments throughout the day.
Based on the same research as Tom's New York Times bestseller, adapted so the whole family can talk about eating well, moving more, and sleeping better together.
Recharge your family
A vibrant story that teaches children the power of eating well, moving more, and sleeping better — one small choice at a time.
