Vegetarian Star

When author Jonathan Safran Foer appeared on The Ellen Show, a nine year old girl said reading the book with her mother had inspired her to start drinking soy milk and buying cage-free eggs. She also asked if he planned to write a similar book aimed at children. The answer was no, he was only interested in writing fiction from there on out.

Fortunately, there are dozens of books aimed at children and adolescents that focus on vegetarian living and values.

This is Why We Don’t Eat Animals is one that teaches the relationship between food at mealtime and animal suffering and environment issues if that food is meat or dairy.

Other children’s books that contain vegetarian related themes include Hope, based on a true story of a pig found in a dumpster that was rescued and taken to a farm sanctuary. ‘Twas the Night before Thanksgiving features the story of school children who rescue eight would be dinner turkeys during a class field trip to a farm.

These and other books can be found on a list at humaneeducationteacher.org.
