You can join the NOK Rockers on their first nutritional adventure to the troubled town of Slowville, where everything is black and white and the people are slow and sleepy. Together, The NOK Rockers, Saranna, Isaiah, and James, with the help of their guide and friend Zoe, must solve the mystery of this town’s colorlessness, all while being thwarted by the town bully, Junk Food Jammer. Can the NOK Rockers find a way to stand up to Junk Food Jammer and transform the town into a kaleidoscope of color once again? Or will Junk Food Jammer rule Slowville forever?

Statistics show that children can achieve long-term health benefits by intervening early in their lives and exposing them to healthy lifestyle practices. Nourish Our Kids uses its healthy peer-role model characters, The NOK Rockers, in their storybooks, music, games, and healthy life-style school curriculums targeting young children ages 4-7 years old. The NOK characters, along with simple age appropriate teaching techniques, are used in tandem to coach children how to make healthy lifestyle choices and decisions on their own.
