New Children’s Book Shines In The Vegan Community

LOS ANGELES - Oct. 12, 2015 - PRLog -- Stephanie Dreyer, healthy living expert and blogger, launches her first children’s book today with a promotional blast, including a two-week blog tour, giveaways, and a free bonus recipe booklet.

Not A Nugget shows children and families where their food comes from and explores the connection between animals and one’s food choices.  In this charming non-fiction picture book, fun animal facts and adorable illustrations get the reader to think differently about animals and their food, while introducing the idea of a plant-based diet.

The book’s two-week blog tour will include free giveaways of the book.  The schedule is as follows:

10/13 Real Vegan Housewife

10/14 Vive Le Vegan

10/15 Healthy Vegan Guy

Not A Nugget is a great educational tool for parents and teachers wanting to explore alternative diets and healthy eating habits with children.  To this end, Dreyer has created additional resources on her website VeegMama.com to explore plant-based eating with children, including recipes, articles and lesson plans.  For a limited time, Dreyer is also offering a free recipe booklet, Vegan Family Recipes, to anyone purchasing the book (Visit http://veegmama.com/not-a-nugget/ for details.)

“This book is the perfect way to introduce veganism to small children in a non judgmental and non threatening way. Animals are our friends, not food - of course! Stephanie Dreyer has created a beautiful book which is also a lovely teaching tool!” – Mayim Bialik, Emmy award nominated actress/neuroscientist/mom and vegan advocate

The book has already won a 2015 Reader’s Favorite International Book Award, and continues to receive rave reviews.

“Not A Nugget is a clever, creative, and conscientious exploration of a hugely crucial issue of our generation. In a sensitive and delightful way, Stephanie connects us to animals in fascinating and fun tidbits, sensitive enough to open the delicate minds of children and compelling enough to crack open the hearts of adults. I highly recommend this book to anyone who eats.”  – Julieanna Hever, MS, RD, CPT, Plant-Based Dietitian, author of The Vegiterranean Diet, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Plant-Based Nutrition and host of Z Living’s What Would Julieanna Do?

Not A Nugget is the first children’s book published by VeegMama, a vegan lifestyle brand created by Stephanie Dreyer to share new approaches to healthy living.  The book retails for $9.95 and is available on Amazon.com in Paperback and on Kindle.
