Vegan Family by Randi Seltzer Bonica and Abby Broussard
This children’s book conveys warmth, welcome, and reassurance for little vegans as they navigate a non-vegan world. Vegan Family brings the familiar alphabet format into play with cute, vibrant illustrations by Broussard which embrace the expected, like V is for vegetables, but also integrating true vegan ideals, like E is empathy. Children of varying ethnic backgrounds are represented, giving Vegan Family a sense of inclusivity and Bonica also tackles emotional challenges, like feeling different or alone. Child readers will find this book upbeat and encouraging–I found it to be those things and I’m well past the target age group!
