Vegan Is Love, author-illustrator Ruby Roth introduces young readers to a vegan lifestyle of compassion and action.
After the popularity of her first book That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals, Roth explores the many opportunities we have to make ethical decisions. Highlighting the importance of refusing products tested on or made from animals and choosing to buy organic food. As well as avoiding sea parks, circuses, animal races, and zoos.
Roth’s message is direct but sensitive, bringing into sharp focus what it means to “put our love into action.” Featuring empowering back-of-the-book resources on action children can take themselves, this is the next step for adults and kids alike to create a more sustainable and compassionate world.
The message transcends just food philosophy. It coveys the capability of all of us in creating a more sustainable and compassionate world.
Will this book turn my vegetarian kid into a vegan?
This book hardly mentions dairy. The focus is rather on compassionate lifestyle choices that anyone—vegan or not—can make to help animals and the planet. Ruby covers zoos, circuses, animal testing, cruelty-free products, pollution, world hunger, and more. If your kid wants to be vegan, it will help. But if you’re set as a vegetarian, your child will learn what s/he can do—besides going veg—to live kindly.
How can I share this book with kids whose parents aren’t veg?
Gift the book with a message like “Since you asked, this explains why [Uncle Bob] doesn’t eat animals.” Or, just keep the book at your place for curious little visitors.
What if I don’t have kids?
These books are great adult novelty items! Keep them on your coffee table, office desk, or in your waiting room and see what happens! Hint, hint: these books are so easy, even adults can understand.
