"What do you eat?" is one of the most common (and most frustrating) questions vegans get. That question is compounded when the vegan is a kid! WHAT VEGAN KIDS EAT is a colorful, joyful introduction to the idea that "anything you can eat, I can eat vegan" for the picture book set.
Set up as a tour through the seasons with a multicultural cast of vegan children, each child talks about what they like to eat, with a focus on special events like holidays and birthdays. Vegetables, fruits, legumes, and breads dance across the pages, but that's not all! Vegan meat and dairy alternatives take a bow, and yes, cookies and candy make the holidays a little sweeter. Yes, vegans enjoy our treats too--adults who mistakenly assume vegan kids are "missing out" or it's just a regime of dull health food have another think coming.
(Although, I will say the kid who only had broccoli, apples, and carrot sticks in her lunchbox concerned me a little. That's a wonderful snack, but it's not a well-rounded meal--especially for a child. That's the only meal that seemed to fit with stereotypes people have about what vegans eat. I wish the kid would have had a peanut butter sandwich or some similarly filling thing in her lunch along with the fruit and veggies.)
I loved the presentation of this book. It's hardbound, sturdy, and likely to survive and be seen in a public library--which is very important to me. Vegan-oriented books for kids and families have become so much more mainstream and professional in recent years. This will be a wonderful book for vegan families with young kids, and it will empower kids when people with outmoded ideas about plant-based diets question their choices.

What Vegan Kids Eat shows all the variety that vegan kids eat throughout the day and for different seasons, holidays and special occasions. Mom even brings no-chicken noodle soup when the vegan kid is sick in bed. The book shows that vegan kids can eat the same comfort foods as other kids plus a variety of others foods that some children may have never tried.

Fun and filled with info! Super cute book with great illustrations! Shows kids all the great foods vegans choose to eat instead of animals and their secretions. I would definitely recommend this fun book!
