Whether you’re a parent, a parent-to-be, or just a lover of all things vegan, you’ve got to check out the latest must-have resource for those of us who care about all creatures of planet earth.
Veganism in 26 sentences—it doesn’t get simpler than this!
Ruby Roth, beloved GGA friend and author-illustrator of That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals and Vegan Is Love, has a brand new book for a brand new generation!
Brightly-colored and written in hilarious rhymes, V Is for Vegan introduces the youngest of herbivores (honestly, adults, too) in this growing demographic to the ABCs of a compassionate lifestyle. Once again, Ruby brings her characteristic insight and good humor to the often challenging subjects of veganism and animal rights in the most easy-to-understand, teachable format yet. Through memorable rhymes and adorably simple illustrations, Roth covers the major vegan food groups, some “non-food” groups, and broader concepts such as animal protection and the environment. And unlike many vegan-ish kids books we get to review, this one is actually gorgeous, readable, and beautifully written and illustrated. Certainly not written by a novice, this book is exquisite.
Buy them all, stat. Buy multiples for friends. Buy one for your Grandma. Donate one to your local library. Just support this brilliant beautiful woman and everything she does. (Vegan gossip note: her beau is the genius world renowned artist Justin Bua)
“Your kids will light up with laughter reading this book,” promises Ruby, “and it’s a great adult novelty item, too. Keep it on your coffee table, in your waiting room, or on your office desk for passers-by who won’t necessarily read Food Revolution, but might pick this one up for sheer entertainment!”
Sure to bring about laughter and learning, V Is for Vegan will boost the confidence of vegan kids about to enter school and help adults explain their ethical worldview in a way that kids will no doubt understand and remember. Just in time for back-to-school season!
