Written and illustrated by Ruby Roth, the book features an endearing animal cast of pigs, turkeys, cows, quail, turtles, and dolphins. To see Ruby Roth take on the media, check out the videos below.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). Children are smarter than we give them credit for and will appreciate veganism when they understand it well. Just as her books do, Roth encouraged parents to involve their children in conversations about healthy eating and animal rights. The toughest part of being vegan is often the pressure people face from well-meaning friends, family, and medical professionals. The lecture was very eye-opening! I’ve been a vegan for over 15 years and thought I’d seen it all-but Roth wowed me with info I didn’t know, such as how public thinking about health, children, and animals is shaped. She examined pop culture, the media response to her books, and talked about challenges of being vegan and raising vegan kids.

Vegan is Love is a terrific look at human-animal relationships and how you’re never too young to put compassion into action (7-10).
V is for Vegan is great introduction to veganism for the younger set (3-7), and That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals is a more in-depth look at veganism for older kids (6-9). They’re a great launching point for discussing animal issues with kids. I’ve given her books as gifts because the images captivate and the messages are perfectly age-appropriate. Ruby Roth is an acclaimed author who has written and illustrated several amazing children’s books about animals and veganism.
