I’m always interested in books such as these for children.

I am a Vegetarian myself. I try my best to eat a Vegan diet as often as possible (I’m not great at asking other people to accommodate me and it’s still not a very common requirement), and I’ve met many children who either understand, or are curious about why.

This book is very clearly written by someone who is passionate about convincing others that Veganism (and Vegetarianism) is the right direction to go. I also think this, but my point is that you can easily tell. It is more of an answer to “why are you vegan?” rather than a story that allows children entirely free-thought.

It handles the heavy truth of our farming system and environmental impact well, with a clear message for children on morals and thinking about how your actions effect others. But I think it might be too heavy handed for say a Omni parent to deem appropriate, which I would need to consider as a teacher.
