ABOUT

FIRST 5 Santa Clara County partnered with local community agencies in 2010 to develop an obesity prevention strategic plan. One strategy outlined within the plan was to engage children and families through a children’s book that highlighted ahealthy lifestyle.

In 2011, FIRST 5 published “Potter the Otter: A Tale about Water,” a storybook that narrates the tale of an otter who teaches his friends to avoid sugar-sweetened beverages; and includes an educational component for parents and caregivers.
