V is for Vegan : Review


So, we live in a semi omnivore world. I get it. Raising a vegan kid in an omni world means that there is play kitchen items that imitate milk, chicken, hot dogs or hamburgers. Or children books that tell our young seeds that drinking milk is good for their bones; sugar coating the cruelty of zoos, showing happy animals in cages.

But Ruby Roth gives to vegan parents an option to all of that cruelty we don't want to include in our story time. Not only V is for Vegan (Che's favorite from Roth series) teaches kids the A,B,C but it tells them about the importance of being kind and compassionate to animals, which for parents is a great way to introduce "the talk" about why we don't eat animals or animal products.







One of my favorite things about this book is that Che recognizes that we don't eat chicken or cow but coconut, beans, rice, oatmeal, etc. The A,B,C includes almost all the staples on a vegan diet, which makes for a fun way to practice every day food words with my little vegan.

Vegan is Love is a little bit more complicated for Che still, but V is for Vegan is simple, short, easy to follow and more importantly: ethical veganism explained in a way my 2 year old can understand.
