Staying healthy is a challenge. There’s never enough time or resources for all the things.

The Daily Nugget started as a dream for a book, which turned into a daily e-mail to stay motivated to write the book! But at the end of the year, it had grown a life of its own and amassed a fan base of people who have fallen in love with Dr. Kim’s stick figures and simple health tips. This book can be used as a reference for fans of the daily e-mails, or it can be used as a gentle daily journey through health. It also makes a great “bathroom book.”
Health is a journey, not a destination. The Daily Nugget is your trusty companion on the road!

The Daily Nugget Coloring Book
The Daily Nugget Coloring Book lets you share the best of the kid-friendly nuggets with the littles in your life!
A fun and meaningful way to share healthy habits with kids — one coloring page at a time!
This coloring book is a companion to The Daily Nugget: 366 Tips for a Healthier You, and was created for fans of the Daily Nugget email series who want to share its simple, healthy tips with the children in their lives.
Each coloring page features a kid-friendly drawing based on a Daily Nugget concept — like drinking water, relaxing, eating veggies, being kind, or getting good sleep. On the back of each image, you’ll find a short discussion prompt to help spark conversations about wellness, mindfulness, and healthy choices.
Unlike the original Daily Nugget stick figure drawings, this coloring book features traditional coloring book–style illustrations, designed to be easy and fun for young children to color.
Perfect for parents, grandparents, teachers, and counselors looking to inspire healthy habits through creativity and connection.
“I love my regular version of The Daily Nugget- I use it every day and reread from the beginning when I’m done. I was excited when I found the kid version was out! It’s got great illustrations, and now me and the grand kids look forward to curiosity forward, no stress chats about health. Highly recommended”
