This is a fabulous book, an amazingly good book.
My only quibble, a minor one, and something that comes up a lot for me: I do greatly prefer the term farmed animals vs. farm animals. Farm makes it sound like that what they are. Farmed indicates what is done to them. I’m not sure why not all animal
Lovely sentiments throughout and I love that children and animals have the main roles.
The illustrations are wonderful. They’re beautiful.
This is a perfect book for vegan families though of course I’d love to have all young children and their adults read it. I highly recommend it for parents whose children have expressed any sort of discomfort about eating animals or eating/using products made from them. I know I’ll be recommending it to those adults for their families.
This is a wonderful addition to the humane education genre. I think that this book imparts an effective message. The book proper is for all ages and the information in the back is mostly for the adults. I cannot stress strongly enough how much I’d appreciate it if everyone read this book. It’s a book that I wish I could own and share with others. If I was buying books I’d buy this one for my home library. I can think of only a very few other books I’ve read in the last year that I would buy to own if I could do that.
NOTE: I feel sad & angry about it but it is also a book that I feel I’d have to get permission from children’s non-vegan parents to share with their children. It’s infuriating because no such permission exists for (the majority of) books that promote animal & animal product consumption. What a world.
4-1/2 stars

rights activists don’t use the term farmed vs. farm. That is why I give this book 4-1/2 stars vs. 5 stars.Lovely sentiments throughout and I love that children and animals have the main roles.
