Dear Tricia,

Regarding you request for children's books on health and lifestyle
issue, I would recommend speaking to someone at the Toronto Public
Library.  In particular I would call their Lillian H. Smith Branch,
which is their special children's library and home to their children's
collection, and request to speek with their children's librarian.  If
anybody knows about books in this area they will for sure.

I don't know the phone number for that branch but take a look at their
home page (http://www.tpl.toronto.on.ca) to find it.

Good luck in you search.
