Written and illustrated by Ruby Roth, That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals is the first children’s book to take a candid, compassionate look at the plight of animals on factory farms. It’s an important resource for parents who are looking to teach their children about veganism and vegetarianism.

In the book, pigs, turkeys, cows, and even quails, dolphins, and turtles are celebrated in their natural state rooting around, bonding, nuzzling, grooming one another, and generally charming each other with their family instincts and colorful rituals.

That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals makes the case for both vegetarianism and veganism with gorgeous artwork and a clear, firm stance about the needs of animals and the peril to the greater environment. The boldest step yet in literature for children ages six to ten, Ruby Roth’s work addresses the plight of animals on factory farms with courage and sensitivity. Published by NorthAtlantic Books, Berkeley, California.
