About Vivian
I am a retired kindergarten teacher, proud vegan, passionate animal rights
activist, children’s book editor, poet, website creator, and author of
I'm Not Vegan
But My Cousin Is: Rhymes, Raps and Other Good Stuff About Respecting and
Protecting Animals, Our Health and Our Planet. (Click
here to see reviews.)
My book consists of 81 original poems and over 100 passionate and
provocative and powerful quotes from authors, educators, scientists, animal
rights activists, philosophers, doctors, and other well-informed sources.
Propelled by my desire to teach compassion, model empathy, and inspire
action, I engage people daily (I try to talk to at least three people a day)
in conversations about veganism, life, and values. I believe that veganism
is a core value we all share (well, almost all of us) that is opposed to
humans causing non-human animals unnecessary suffering and harm. My goal
with each conversation, and with my website and book, is to help folks move
toward aligning that important core value with their actions.
