A beautifully written coming of age story that will speak to the hearts of vegan tweens and teens alike. Eunice Wong, award winning actress and author of What The Health and The Sustainability Secret

An intimate look at the daily ups and downs of a vegan child in a non- vegan world. It is an extremely engaging and magical exploration of human and non-human relationships, with animals who communicate with gifted humans and a moving portrayal of a family's relationship with their aging companion animal.
