Imagine raising children who not only thrive on a plant-based diet, but grow up grounded in compassion—for animals, the planet, and themselves. This book is your roadmap for doing just that.
In clear, warm and often humorous tone, Lindstrom (who raised one child on the standard diet and four on vegan) shares real-life wisdom, practical strategies and gentle myth-busting about raising vegan children.
Alongside Lindstrom’s stories, Tess Challis brings in nourishing, kid-friendly plant-based recipes and coaching insights to make healthy vegan family living accessible.
What you’ll find inside:
A down-to-earth discussion of nutrition, health and the unique considerations of raising children on plants rather than animal-based foods.
Guidance for everyday life: navigating birthday parties, school lunches, holidays, social situations, travel and travel-friendly vegan snacks.
Tools and resources: an A–Z of great vegan recipes for kids, recommended books/movies/websites for a vegan family, and tips for fostering a compassionate lifestyle in little ones.
A broader message: raising vegan children is not just a diet or lifestyle choice—it’s an opportunity to cultivate empathy, sustainability and lifelong healthy habits in the next generation.
Why it stands out:
It tackles the question “Is it safe to raise kids vegan?” head-on and provides evidence-backed assurance.
It doesn’t just focus on “what to feed” but also “how to live” – aligning family values, everyday logistics and compassionate choices.
The tone is friendly and realistic—perfect for vegan-curious parents, long-time plant-based families, or anyone wanting to raise more mindful children.
For whom:
Parents or guardians choosing a vegan lifestyle (or transitioning into one) who want support, ideas and encouragement for raising children who eat well, think compassionately and grow confidently. Also great as a gift for new parents with vegan values, or for families exploring the plant-based path.
