Summary: I absolutely adore this book. It was written by an art teacher in Los Angeles. This book explains to a child why we do not eat pets, farm animals, and sea animals. It also shows the child how eating animals effects our environment. This book really brings light to what we choose to consume really isn't a personal choice, our choice effects many aspect of life. The end of the book gives the reader many other ideas on how to be more socially conscious. Here is a website devoted to this book!
