Liam the Vegan - Hardcover

by Ck Westbrook (Author), Jonathan Huff (Illustrator)

Liam the Vegan

Liam is in the second grade, and he loves all animals. When he moves to a new town and a new school, his classmates are surprised and curious about his diet. At first, they disapprove, but when they understand his choices, they love and support him.

This book features vibrant illustrations of children and animals. Written with little vegans in mind, the story relays a message of kindness and compassion for children, animals, and the planet. This story may help educators and parents teach empathy for children with less common diets, such as lactose intolerance, kosher, halal, or food allergies. As Liam's mom explains, "Vegans aren't silly or wrong; being plant-based makes children healthy and strong." She adds, "Let's not tease because diets are personal - and all children long to belong."

Recommended for ages 3 - 7, but people of all ages may appreciate the message.
