Synopsis
Summary
How do you change the world for the better? You start small. You start with what is on your plate.
When we walk down the aisles of a grocery store, most of us don’t think about all the steps it took for each item to get on the shelf. Or how those different steps might impact the environment and even our own health.
With chapters that explore why we eat what we eat, the environmental impact of the meat industry, what terms like “vegan” and “plant-based” mean, and much more, Eating to Save the Planet is an accessible middle grade nonfiction title for curious eaters.

Reviews
Kirkus: "The writing is direct and accessible, with sidebars to clarify unfamiliar terms. Cartoon-style images depict diverse kids. A gentle but persuasive case for vegan eating."
School Library Journal: "This call to action for the middle grade set is chock full of information and concrete suggestions for kids to participate in the effort to combat climate change. Recommended for young environmental activists and foodies alike."
Booklist: "Never didactic or judgmental, she suggests low-pressure and gradual ways to become vegan or even a part-time vegan. Extensive vegan resources, including famous vegans and protein and nutrient guides, wrap up this thought-provoking and practical guide."
