On My Way...A Journey of a Star named Rae is a heartwarming story about learning the importance of making healthy choices. On her journey to becoming a shining star, Rae discovers that food, feelings and physical activity are bound together and how we feel often determines our choices. The story involves three important elements to making healthy choices, called the emotional ABCs. These are: Ability (to make choices, to try new things, and to ask for help), Belonging (being included, including others, and understanding how we are the same, while we celebrate our differences), and Caring (respect and consideration for self and others).

This children's story has been developed as part of the At My Best® school-based wellness program. At My Best® is a comprehensive toolkit designed to help teachers and individuals who work with children encourage and assist the development of overall children's wellness. The toolkit was developed by a team of educators with expertise in physical education, health education, nutrition and children's wellness.
