Guest guest Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 This is Erin Pavlina, Editor of VegFamily.com magazine. I'm writing to let you know that my new book, Raising Vegan Children in a Non-Vegan World, is now available for purchase. After my daughter's birth, I had questions about raising a vegan child. I found abundant nutritional information and gained confidence in meeting her dietary needs. But raising a vegan child in a non-vegan world was more complicated than expected; social and emotional issues also proved challenging. So I searched online and offline for relevant information, but most books and magazines either read like a medical journal or covered only vegetarian (non-vegan) children. I needed a book that covered the unique challenges vegan families face. So since I couldn't find it anywhere else, I decided to write such a book myself. Interviews with vegan parents revealed how they handled situations and challenges faced by many families such as bullies, teasing, parties, family friction, teachers and caregivers, dining out, holidays, traveling, and compassion towards animals. I also found answers to the hard questions kids ask such as " Why does grandma eat animals? " , " Can we go to the zoo? " , and " Why can Susie eat that but I can't? " Raising Vegan Children in a Non-Vegan World covers topics such as being vegan, transitioning a child to a vegan lifestyle, social situations, daycare and schools, health and nutrition, traveling, and leading a compassionate life. Michael Klaper, M.D. and author of Pregnancy, Children, and the Vegan Diet has read this book and says: " To raise a child as a vegan in this very non-vegan world is an act of courage, principle and compassion. It takes a writer with those qualities, like Erin Pavlina, to create the ultimate guide to this extremely challenging task of Raising Vegan Children in a Non-Vegan World. I commend her for her love of life, her dedication, and her creative efforts, and I recommend this book most highly. It gifts us with a beautiful vision and is a pathway to a saner, healthier future for us all. " Deo Robbins, wife of John Robbins, and Co-Founder of EarthSave International had this to say: " Raising children who eat, think, and live differently than their peers and the society around them can be a daunting task. This book offers a host of useful and creative ideas for bringing up healthy, self-confident, and compassionate children. " Whether you're raising vegan kids now, plan to in the future, or want to transition your family to a vegan lifestyle, this book is your complete guide.
