Vegan Kids’ Book Kickstarter

A new Kickstarter project seeks donations to make a children’s book about veganism a reality. Dan Bodenstein, a web developer and children’s book author from West Palm Beach, FL, hopes to complete the publishing process for his new book, Steven the Vegan, from donations acquired through the fundraising website Kickstarter. The book follows a young boy who, on a field trip to an animal sanctuary, explains to his classmates the viewpoint that animals are friends and not food. In order to complete the project, Bodenstein seeks $2,500 by December 19 for illustrations and marketing. He hopes the book will help vegan children cope with teasing and teach omnivorous children about compassionate living.
