Sofia was a shy little girl who loved rainbows. She loved how each color was different, yet they all came together to make something beautiful. One day, at school, she noticed something while eating lunch with her friends.
Her friends had lunches filled with chips, cookies, and sugary drinks. Sofia felt worried. She knew these foods were not healthy. She thought about the rainbow and had an idea.
That night, Sofia packed her lunch for the next day. She included red strawberries, orange carrots, yellow bell peppers, green cucumbers, blueberries, and purple grapes. It was a rainbow lunch!
The next day, Sofia opened her lunchbox at school. Her friends looked at her food and started laughing. 'What are you eating, Sofia?' they asked. Sofia felt embarrassed but she didn't give up.
'This is my rainbow lunch,' Sofia said bravely. 'Each color is a different fruit or vegetable. They are good for our bodies.' Her friends looked amazed.
Sofia's friends were curious. They asked her more about her rainbow lunch. Sofia explained how each color of fruit or vegetable provides different nutrients that help us grow strong and healthy.
The next day, Sofia's friend, Mia, brought a rainbow lunch too. She had red apples, yellow bananas, and green peas. Sofia felt happy and proud.
As the days passed, more and more friends started bringing rainbow lunches. They started feeling more energetic and happy. Sofia's rainbow lunch had started a healthy trend at school.
