This book presents the cultural, environmental and health issues relating to meat consumption and vegetarianism in a format accessible to children. Rather than watering down these complex issues, we see the characters struggle with understanding each other’s perspectives and working through their differences together. While the characters reach a tidy resolution at the book’s conclusion, it is through innovation, effort, and teamwork that they create change in their world -- exactly the model we should be putting forth for the next generation of social influencers.

This book teaches an important lesson that extends far beyond eating meat or vegetables. The characters in the book develop empathy by walking in each other’s shoes, teaching young people that to understand themselves, they first need to understand others.

I really appreciate the message of this book and believe it will open students’ minds to the choices we make and why we make them. Unfortunately, our inquisitiveness is often suppressed as we grow to understand societal norms and coolness. This book engages the natural dynamic of curiosity and it could build genuine sensitivity while leading students toward action. Most children understand what vegetarianism is, yet rarely delve into the question of why we eat what we eat, and how this could impact our community and the world around us. This book challenges its readers in a positive way and will help spark some interesting classroom discussions.

The authors have created a story that opens up and deals with the very real issues of food prejudice in today’s society as well as the disturbing food culture that has been inflicted on our youth. The taboo of discussing “strange” cultural and the -now more than ever- different world of dietary issues, both personal and medicinal, is addressed in a casual, fun and inspiring story involving two friends. This book will provide a much-needed influence on our children’s right and ability to become active in creating good nutritional food for their genre.

This series is a valuable and unique addition to any teacher’s resource collection. Each book focuses on a specific character trait - perfectly aligned with the IBO PYP Learner Profile attributes but equally useful for character education in any school with any curriculum. The stories and their characters are very accessible for independent reading, paired / guided reading, and as teacher readalouds. The delightful illustrations further enhance the key ideas and provide lots of detail for students to discover as they browse. The individual style of this series reflects the character of their authors and will be very appealing to teachers and students alike.
