A wonderful heartwarming, and forward thinking book. I had a similar experience, having close bonds with animals growing up. Eventually, I couldn’t eat them, that made no sense to me! I’m more of a vegetarian than vegan but who knows what the future holds. Great book, highly recommended. Also validating. My boyfriend is a meat eater, and it can be challenging at times for us. We’re figuring it out one day at a time.

A great read overall! Could not put it down so short and sweet like your child! Such an interesting perspective on the impact of the vegan diet and a touching story overall. The author is simply a good person, a great mom, and an adventurous person with a passion for food, animals, and our future!

I bought this book on a whim at my go-to smoothie place and was surprised by how much I liked it. I don’t have kids but, I’ve been toying with the thought of veganism for years. I guess I figured that if a kid can “deal” with a vegan diet, an adult can at least give it a try? (The cute little kid on the cover is even eating a cupcake!) I loved the 5 days of vegan meals. I’m not a fan of cooking so I combed through for the easiest recipes and liked the “tuNOT” salad and stuffed peppers the most. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been trying to “veganize” the foods I eat anyway and have actually been enjoying the challenge. I am by no means a perfect vegan but, I’m eating a lot better and heading in the right direction. Vegan cupcakes, here I come.
