Nico knows the foods on his plate: frijoles, rice, and a warm tortilla. Then he spots one new thing - a little broccoli tree. He isn't ready. His shoulders tighten. His mouth stays closed.
But Abuela doesn't pressure him. First, they meet it. Nico looks, smells, touches, waits, and finally tries one tiny bite when he is ready.
Nico Can Try New Foods! is a warm bilingual English-Spanish picture book about picky eaters, cautious little eaters, and no-pressure mealtimes. It helps children see that trying something new can happen slowly, safely, and with love.
Cuando Nico encuentra un arbolito de brócoli en su plato, todavÃa no está listo. Abuela no lo apura. Primero lo miran, lo huelen y lo tocan. Con paciencia y cariño, Nico descubre que probar algo nuevo puede pasar poquito a poquito.
Why this book works for families:- No-pressure approach: no bribes, no shame, no power struggles - just patience and curiosity.
- Great for picky eaters: gently models looking, smelling, touching, waiting, and trying one tiny bite.
- Bilingual English-Spanish text: ideal for dual-language homes, Spanish learners, and Latino families.
- Social-emotional learning: supports confidence, body autonomy, patience, and everyday courage.
- Warm Abuela bond: celebrates a loving grandmother-and-child mealtime routine.
Perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, cautious eaters, bilingual families, preschool classrooms, grandparents, and anyone looking for a calmer way to introduce new foods.
Share Nico's story and give your child a gentler way to meet something new.Also from
