About this product
Product Information
That's Why We Don't Eat Animals uses colorful artwork and lively text to introduce vegetarianism and veganism to early readers (ages six to ten). Written and illustrated by Ruby Roth, the book features an endearing animal cast of pigs, turkeys, cows, quail, turtles, and dolphins. These creatures are shown in both their natural state-rooting around, bonding, nuzzling, cuddling, grooming one another, and charming each other with their family instincts and rituals-and in the terrible conditions of the factory farm. The book also describes the negative effects eating meat has on the environment. A separate section entitled "What Else Can We Do?" suggests ways children can learn more about the vegetarian and vegan lifestyles, such as-"Celebrate Thanksgiving with a vegan feast" or "Buy clothes, shoes, belts, and bags that are not made from leather or other animal skins or fur." This compassionate, informative book offers both an entertaining read and a resource to inspire parents and children to talk about a timely, increasingly important subject.

"Turkeys dance and grieve together; they blush and fly to the treetops when the moon comes out. In factory farms they have no freedom and are made too fat to fly." -Kirkus, "A courageous stab at a serious topic inherently hinted at through the anthropomorphizing of animals so prevalent in children's books. By contrasting animal behavior in the wild with that of their counterparts in farms or factories, Roth makes a stark case that by harvesting sentient beings we are stripping them of their rights and natural desires. Inevitably this will book incense those on the other side of the issue but there is much to be learned here (about animal behavior if nothing else). A unique effort that is to be applauded." -Booklist "This book successfully tackles the tough subject [of veganism] with grace and clarity. This is a great addition to any compassionate kid's library and will make a wonderful gift for any parents in your life who want to talk to their kids about animals but need a little help getting started." -PETA Living "Turkeys dance and grieve together; they blush and fly to the treetops when the moon comes out. In factory farms they have no freedom and are made too fat to fly." -Kirkus, "This is a powerful and important book. Farm animals have emotions similar to our pets and this is conveyed in Roth's enchanting illustrations. It will make children-and their parents-think. But it will not lead to nightmares, rather respect and compassion for the creatures whose wellbeing is in our hands." -Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace "A refreshing, sympathetic, and attractive book that children are smart enough to understand, embrace and grow up a little by reading." -Ingrid Newkirk, founder, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) "Ruby Roth has done us all a great service. If your children are vegetarians, or have friends who are, or are simply interested in why people might be vegetarians, this is the book for them!" -John Robbins, bestselling author ofThe Food Revolution, Diet For A New America "Where adults are more firmly entrenched in their ways, children need only the slightest insights and guidance, and off they soar into the direction of a more conscious and kind way of living. This book will help to create the much needed healers and leaders of tomorrow. " -Kathy Freston, NY Times bestselling author ofQuantum Wellness "Like many people, I knew as a child that I didn't want to eat animals. That's Why We Don't Eat Animals would have offered me the guidance and inspiration I needed to understand those instincts. This book is a must-have for anyone who loves animals." -Alicia Silverstone, actress, animal-rights activist "In a time when we are all working to go green, I am thrilled thatThat's Why We Don't Eat Animalsmakes the connection between food and the environment, inspiring children to be aware and involved. " -Ed Begley, actor, activist "Stunning artwork, meaningful content, and a message that will inspire-this book is a must-read for every child. " -Rory Freedman, NY Times bestselling author ofSkinny Bitch "Roth beautifully illustrates why we all love animals when we get the chance to experience their families and personalities.That's Why We Don't Eat Animalsis a book I recommend to all parents and children. " -David Wolfe, author ofThe Sunfood Diet Success System, founder of SunFood "This book captures the imagination with its illustrations that subtly helps children understand the ancient teachings that animals have souls. Animals are our friends and we do not eat our friends. In this understanding it helps us create a more compassionate world. " -Gabriel Cousens, M.D. author ofConscious Eating, andSpiritual Nutrition "Declaring that 'All animals deserve the care and protection we give our pets,' newcomer Roth takes the vegetarian/vegan cause to young readers. Highly stylized illustrations against white backdrops depict angular caricatures of farm animals. Concluding with a list of tips for action around vegetarian/vegan ideals, this book is sure to raise awareness and questions." -Publishers Weekly "A courageous stab at a serious topic inherently hinted at through the anthropomorphizing of animals so prevalent in children's books.

Ruby Roth is a talented illustrator and author who has written a gently informative children's book that will be indispensable to thoughtful families everywhere. I am so grateful to her for making that inevitable talk a little bit easier." -Your Vegan Mom
