The book was also a fast read, not all scientific and authoritative. Just good, honest, practical advice and tips. I read the book in just two sittings; in fact, I couldn't put it down once I started because the writing flowed really well.
Highlights include:
-- How to explain to teachers and day care workers what your child's needs are.
-- How to deal with doctors, friends, and family who might disagree with your chosen lifestyle.
-- Great ideas for how to transition children to veganism, no matter what their age is.
-- A pretty decent nutrition section that covers the most important nutrients your kids need, and written in a format that I understood easily.
-- A chapter that includes great travel tips if you're vegan.
-- My favorite chapter, the one on Social Situations. She covers everything like birthday parties, holidays, summer camp, finding other vegan families in your neighborhood, etc. I found so many of those tips useful in my daily life.
-- I enjoyed the chapter on compassion in action, but felt she could have taken that one a lot further than she did.
Overall, though, a fantastic book, and I highly recommend it to parents who have vegan kids. I plan to re-read it often as my children get older and start to encounter new situations.
