Mumbai: Vivek Oberoi launched an educational book at Granth book store, 'Rasha road to Nutrition' by Euro books. The book is a series of 5 books containing stories about healthy eating habits for children, with the aim being to encourage kids to eat healthy and nutritious food.

Throughout the books they meet various characters, along with the principal characters, Rasha and Olive the doll.

Says Vivek, "It's an interesting and a very fun way of teaching the kids. It will make it easier for mothers to teach their children to eat nutritional and healthy food."

The huge fan following that Vivek has amongst children was quite evident as the young ones were all ears as Vivek recited to them a small paragraph. His presence had the little kids really excited. Few of the lucky one's got to sit with him as he read out to them.

Shalini Sharma, mother of Rasha, is the one who conceptualized the book with her illustrator & interior designer friend Shehnaz David. Both are based in Chandigarh. Sharma said, "Rasha was feeling completely out of this world when Vivek consented and launched the book. She is Vivek's biggest fan. It was a dream come true for her."

She added, "The books have been written keeping in mind the various food groups which constitute a balanced diet. Moreover, the message of healthy eating is brought out in the form of endearing stories, rhyming verses and songs. Colorful and attractive illustrations help the child to understand the stories better."

For the launch, the kids added a bit of 'flavor' to the evening by dressing up as fruits and vegetables and gathered around Vivek posing for photographs and get his autograph.
