The bento food movement teaches us that foods can be attractive, nutritious, fun and delicious all at the same time. Kids love to try foods that bring a smile to their faces, and will often eat things they wouldnt otherwise try. For example, theyll love an adorable bear cub made from brown bread, peanut butter and jelly nestled on a bed of blueberries. Cut watermelon into hearts, and tuck them next to a ham sandwich shaped like ballet slippers for your budding ballerina.

Wendy Copley was first introduced to the art of bento when her husband gave her a bento box on a cold Christmas morning. Armed with a set of silicone cupcake cups, a few bento blogs and her trusty paring knife, she set herself to the task of bringing a bit of fun to her lunch box. Since that time, she has packed thousands of bento lunches for her family which she showcases on her popular website, Wendolonia.com. Now she brings dozens of brand new bentos -- all with step by step instructions -- to her first book, Everyday Bento: 50 Cute and Yummy Lunches to Go.Wendy lives in Northern California with her husband, two sons and an over-flowing bento supply cupboard.
