New Children’s Book Helps Kids Understand Veganism

Next week, Vegan Is Love, a children’s book that extols the reasoning behind adopting a plant-based diet, will be hitting shelves nationwide. Author Ruby Roth, a 29-year-old mother of two, will be appearing on NBC’s morning show Today today to promote the book, which has been a subject of controversy in many mainstream media outlets due to mixed opinions about children’s abilities to properly manage vegan nutrition. The author tells abcnews.com, “I decided to write a book for a new generation who will need to think, eat, and treat the environment differently if we are to solve the most looming health and environmental issues.” Roth penned and illustrated her first children’s book, That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals, in 2009.
