Review
—Vegetarian Times
"Ruby Roth has done it again. Never has being vegan been more beautifully illustrated than in V Is for Vegan. Roth's clarity, directness, and creative intelligence come through with every letter. This is a must-have for every vegan, especially those of us who are raising vegan children to know the simple and elegant power of our choices."
—Mayim Bialik, PhD, Emmy-nominated actress, neuroscientist, author, and mom
“What an enchanting and perfect little gem! This will be a long-time best seller among the ever-growing population of vegans—and their friends! I’m buying them in bulk for baby shower gifts.”
—Rory Freedman, best-selling author of Skinny B*tch
“A one-of-a-kind resource for the youngest in a growing demographic, V Is for Vegan offers families a fun and simple way to build and bond over a foundation of compassion and understanding.”
—Dr. Jenn Berman, MFT, PsyD, author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy, Confident Kids
“Funny, informative, and inspiring, V Is for Vegan will give already vegan kids a sense of pride, confidence, and belonging and will give non-vegan kids and adults a better understanding and appreciation for this more peaceful, sustainable way of living. The timing couldn't be better, as more families are exploring vegan lifestyles and are looking for an accessible, entertaining way to share the hows and whys of veganism with their kids. I can't wait for my son to grow older so I can read it with him.”
—Marisa Miller Wolfson, writer and director of Vegucated
“Ruby Roth's ability to speak to children about important and serious issues regarding animals is unmatched. Ruby's books are creating a new generation of children guided by compassion and empathy for those who have no voice."
—Gary Smith, Evolotus PR

—Heather Lounsbury, L.Ac., author of Fixing It With Food
"V Is For Vegan strikes a fantastic balance between colorful, heartwarming illustrations and whimsical, conscious poetry. It gently and jovially delivers messages of kindness and compassion that all children can understand and embrace. It's the perfect introduction to veganism for kids."
—Jason Wrobel, celebrity vegan chef and host of How to Live to 100 on Cooking Channel
“Ruby Roth's books provide an absolute treasure trove of insight and motivation for readers of all ages. Her books are a joy to experience, conveying their kind, wise message in words and drawings that touch your heart, soul, and spirit. My daughter has chosen to give V Is for Vegan to every one of her friends this holiday season. I can't think of a better gift.”
—Dr. Doug Graham, author of The 80/10/10 Diet

—Ani Phyo, author of Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen
“[Roth] shares the ABCs of veganism, approaching the topic with enthusiasm and humor."
—Publishers Weekly
“Let’s hope this book shows up in all local libraries!”
—Vegetarian Journal
“V Is for Vegan addresses veggie issues in a fun and lighthearted way. Explaining sensitive animal issues to children is always difficult, but Ruby has such a wonderful way with words that broaching the fundamental ideas behind veganism and how we treat animals is much easier. This book is a thought provoking read that can be used as a vehicle for social change in efforts to spread the message of love and compassion on behalf of all our animal friends.”
—Care2.com
"Ruby Roth has put together an adorable ABC-style rhyming book that will introduce your little herbivore to the major vegan food groups as well as the ways we can protect animals and the environment. The illustrations are adorable and funny and the content is colorful and exciting for little eyes."
—VegFamily
“I would not hesitate to recommend this book to anyone looking to show children (or adults!) what living a compassionate lifestyle is all about.”
—Amanda Lily Grant, reviewer at T.O.F.U. Magazine
“The book takes a gentle, educational and humorous approach to teaching kids the alphabet within the context of compassionate, healthy and sustainable living. … Positive and empowering”
—Evolving Wellness
“V is for Vegan is a really good book for toddlers. It addresses healthy eating by talking about legumes, nuts, grains, veggies, fruits, oil, and seeds. It also touches lightly upon vegan issues including zoos, clothing, shelters, and animal testing in an age-appropriate way. If you are raising vegan kids, definitely pick up a copy of this book for your collection.”

About the author

Featured on Today, FOX, CNN, and other major media, Ruby Roth is an artist, award-winning author-illustrator, and change-maker, whose groundbreaking children's books have received international attention.
Weaving art together with health, wellness, the environment, and society-at-large, Roth’s work connects the dots between our personal choices and the public realm, examining how our habits can change our lives—and the world we live in.
Ruby Roth has been ahead of trending topics since 2009, creating first-of-a-kind resources for growing demographics and garnering praise from leading activists and environmentalists, celebrities, health and wellness influencers, nutritionists, parents, mommy-bloggers, teachers, and organizations that champion her work.
Her leading children's books have been translated into 10+ languages and are distributed worldwide. Her fifth title, Bad Day, is the winner of a 2019 Nautilus Book Award.
Vegan since 2003, Roth was teaching art at an elementary school when her students' fascination with veganism inspired her to write "That's Why We Don't Eat Animals" in 2009—the first book of its kind in children's literature. "Vegan Is Love", "V Is for Vegan", and "The Help Yourself Cookbook for Kids" followed. "Bad Day," her fifth book released in September 2019, broadens her children's book themes to include emotional and psychological wellbeing.
Roth holds degrees in art and American studies. She lives and works in Los Angeles and speaks and conferences nationwide.
