Hi everyone!

My name is Nathalie VanBalen and I live in Nashville, TN. I recently wrote, illustrated, and self-published a children’s book called "Garlic-Onion-Beet-Spinach-Mango-Carrot-Grapefruit Juice," which raises questions about eating animals. It’s funny, mindful, and fresh-  a great book for vegan/vegetarian/food-conscious families!

If you're interested, please check out my site and let me know what you think! http://www.thorathinks.com/

I am always curious to hear about different people's approaches to talking with kids about animal welfare and food. I am in the process of creating teaching materials to accompany my book, and would love any ideas you care to share!

All the best,
Nathalie
