Reviews"Leaping and bounding toward a more peaceable world, this heart-centered book shows just how far our actions can go when we use love to fuel change." -Jason Mraz, singer and songwriter "An important and completely unique addition to children's literature, Vegan Is Love is a gift for newer, greener, and more compassionate generations to come." -Gene Baur, president and co-founder of Farm Sanctuary "Roth's work brings children a new viewpoint on animals that we desperately need in today's world. Her message to stop attending dolphinariums is a great way to get children personally involved in making moral choices that are best for the animals. Dolphins belong in the sea, not in captivity." -Richard O'Barry, marine mammal specialist, The Cove ; campaign director of SaveJapanDolphins.org "Children love animals, and Vegan Is Love helps to nurture their natural compassion. Please give this book to the teachers, parents, and children in your life, and you will do a world of good to create a compassionate world for all." -Lorri Houston, founder and president, Animal Acres Farm Sanctuary "Ruby Roth's short, sweet, and beautifully illustrated book is a must for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and babysitters, as is her message that 'The choice to be vegan is especially brave.' And that goes for grown-ups, too." -Joseph Connelly, founder and publisher, VegNews magazine " Vegan Is Love beautifully conveys compelling reasons to reevaluate the food we eat, clothes we wear, and entertainment we choose. Best of all, it offers children ways they can be part of the solution today." -Brendan Brazier, professional triathlete, best-selling author of Thrive "This book gives young people a comprehensive view of animal rights as a lifestyle in an easy-to-digest format. It is my dream that future generations will extend their compassion to all sentient beings as part of their daily practice. This book provides the tools they need to get started." -Simone Reyes, Running Russell Simmons "Ruby Roth is a magical truth-teller, artist, and conduit to kindness. If I had my druthers, every child in the world would have compulsory homework to read her work, as compassion should be the most perfunctory lesson we learn. My vegan son is so lucky to have Roth's books to guide him-for every question he has, her books provide an answer." -Chloe Jo Berman, founder of Girlie Girl Army "Being a Wellness Warrior isn't just for adults. Ruby Roth's fabulous new book teaches children how veganism leads to personal and planetary health and happiness. Share your respect and compassion for our animal friends by reading Vegan Is Love to a little one you adore." -Kris Carr, New York Times best-selling author, motivational speaker, and wellness coach, “Leaping and bounding toward a more peaceable world, this heart-centered book shows just how far our actions can go when we use love to fuel change.� -Jason Mraz, singer and songwriter "An important and completely unique addition to children's literature, Vegan Is Love is a gift for newer, greener, and more compassionate generations to come." -Gene Baur, president and co-founder of Farm Sanctuary “Roth’s work brings children a new viewpoint on animals that we desperately need in today’s world.
