Megan & Flos are telepathic eco-warriors and one of them is not of this world. Venus Aqueous is a champion swimmer who develops the supernatural power to hear and understand the marine animals who call for her help. For example, Reflecto Girl who holds an ancient magic mirror in front of wrong-doers to give them a taste of their own medicine. We have some exciting series of vegan adventure comics for readers aged 8 and up. There are picture books and rhyming stories for little ones – one about an alien visitor to Earth, another about making a birthday cake, another about two little pigs trying to get home, another about a panda trying to find the right food and, yes, one about what it means to be vegan. If you browse the front page you will see we have all sorts of vegan children’s books. It is simply a story in which animal exploitation is not normalised. So a vegan storybook is not necessarily about veganism. Well, vegan storybooks do not pretend it’s okay to use, abuse and consume animals. When these things happen in children’s stories they send a message – they tell the child that it’s okay to do these things.

How many times have you had your enjoyment of a good story spoilt when the heroes – the people you liked, the people you were rooting for – ate meat or went fishing or bought a leather jacket?

Well, basically, it’s like any other storybook except the central characters – the heroes – are vegan 😀 There’s plenty more vegan stories where that came from.
