General Books/Children's Books

	All I See Is Part Of Me  by Chara M. Curtis This tale of our intimate connection to everything around us is a perfect response to the famous quote by the Buddah, "See your self in all things, then what harm can you do?". Illustrated beautifully by Cynthia Aldrich, this book is a charmer for children and adults alike.
	Benji Bean Sprout Doesn't Eat Meat by Sarah Rudy This is the first children's book by Sarah Rudy, a dedicated vegetarian since 1995. The book is about a little boy who gets picked on at school for being vegetarian. He questions his parents idea of being vegetarian until his father takes him to a farm sanctuary and helps Benji end his doubts.
	Dear Children of the Earth by Schim Schimmel. A sumptuously illustrated masterpiece, Schim Schimel takes us on a journey into the heart and mind of mother Earth as she speaks to our children about how much she loves us and how we can love her in return; including our recognition of our fellow animals and how we treat them.
	Horton Hears a Who! by Dr. Seuss This classic extended lyric details the plights of Horton, an elephant with heart of gold who recognizes that every living soul is a 'person' as he puts it; 'no matter how small' or different.
	So, You Love Animals by Zoe Weil. Great book written specially for children. The author teaches children about what is happening to animals in our world and offers a lot of  fun and exciting games, skits, experiments and activities to help young people enjoy animals and nature and become involved in their protection.
	Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson (illustrator) Gives a glimpse of the truer, gentler nature of cows and bulls and how people sadly think of them and treat them otherwise. Fortunately this story ends quite happily.
	'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by David Pilkey A charming lyric beautifully illustrated by the author that depicts a group of school children whose sensibilities outweigh decorum and manage to rescue their beloved new turkey friends from the traditional Thanksgiving fate.
	Victor, the Vegetarian: Saving Little Lambs by Radha Vignola. Very nice book about a little boy living on a farm who decides to become vegetarian after his father wants to slaughter the lambs the boy has befriended.
	Victor's Picnic with the Vegetarian Animals by Radha Vignola. This book describes how Victor, a little boy who has just decided to become vegetarian, finds out about what foods he should eat now. While daydreaming he is invited to a picnic for vegetarian animals where they offer him to share in the foods they are eating.
