We are Sonja & Alex — and together with our two little Growing Heroes (3.5 & 1.5 years) and our dog Zoe, we are a family that loves details and believes in raising children with strength, curiosity, and a joy for healthy food.
What started as Sonja’s creative evening project — a small hobby, a story written just for our boys — slowly grew into something bigger. It became the book “Garden of Powers” and our heartfelt brand Growing Heroes.
The idea behind it was simple:
How can we introduce fruits and vegetables to (our) children in a way that makes them love them — instead of having to argue about them?
This is what we want to share with parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, educators, and au pairs.
For strong children. For curious eaters. For little heroes who are growing every day.
Our Mission
Our mission is to introduce children to the positive qualities of fruits and vegetables in a playful way — without pressure.
We want to:
- 🍎 Create positive emotional connections to healthy eating
- 🥕 Bring fruits and vegetables to life as everyday heroes
- 🌈 Encourage curiosity instead of resistance
- 📚 Provide educational materials for families, kindergartens, and primary school
- 💛 Support parents and educators — with joy rather than lectures
We believe that when children associate food with strength, courage, healing, energy, and imagination, a lasting motivation is created — naturally and without pressure.
Growing Heroes represents a new generation of nutrition education:
loving, modern, science-based — and full of heart.
