Welcome to My World of the Healthy Kids Show!

Hi, I’m Ray Anthony
Thank you for visiting the Healthy Kids Show (HKS), my passion project dedicated to inspiring children to embrace healthy eating habits through fun, engaging, and compassionate education. My vision is simple: to make nutrition exciting and accessible for kids everywhere.

My Journey
I grew up in a place without running water or electricity, where everyone worked hard to make ends meet. By the age of 10, I was responsible for caring for my younger siblings—braiding their hair, brushing their teeth, and cooking meals for the family. While my early cooking skills left much to be desired (and created a few picky eaters along the way), this experience planted the seeds for my lifelong passion for nutrition and caregiving.

Fast forward to 2013, when my daughter—an avid fan of fruits and veggies—started school. Her friends’ reactions to her healthy lunches (“Eeww!”) turned her into a picky eater overnight. Determined to inspire her, I wrote my first children’s book, Veggie Rhapsody: I Want You in My Lunch! It worked! Not only did my daughter rediscover her love for veggies, but her teacher invited me to read the book to her class. That was the beginning of my journey to inspire kids everywhere.

My Mission
Drawing from my personal experiences, a love for storytelling, art, and music, I created the HEALTHY KIDS SHOW™ to help parents and caregivers introduce fruits and vegetables in a way that captivates children. Using books like Veggie Rhapsody and Fruitalicious, So Deelicious!, the show transforms the often-daunting task of eating greens and fruits into an exciting adventure. Through colorful illustrations, playful rhymes, and relatable characters, I aim to make healthy eating fun and magical for kids everywhere.

My Work
With a background in Research, Medicinal Organic Chemistry, Nutrition, Education, and Agriculture, I bring a unique blend of expertise to my work. Over the years, I’ve sold more than 2,000 books, published scientific research, coauthored numerous patents, and performed for children across the U.S., from Texas to Massachusetts. Whether online or in person, my goal is to create memorable experiences that inspire kids to make healthy choices.

Join Me!
I invite you to join me on this mission to make mealtime magical—one veggie and one fruit at a time. Tune in to the HEALTHY KIDS SHOW™ live online or book an in-person show for your school or community. Together, we can help children all over the world develop a love for wholesome foods and healthy habits.

A Little More About Me
When I’m not writing, researching nutrition, or tweaking ideas to improve the Healthy Kids Show, I enjoy cooking, gardening, reading, playing soccer, and spending time with my family. I find inspiration in the simple joys of life, like walking in the woods or admiring a beautiful flower.
