Did You Steal my MILK?: A Journey into Plant Based Dairy Alternatives

Who has stolen the milk?

Unicorns? Dragons wearing uniforms?

The bat dangling from a hat?

The green bug playing with a slug?

Emma asks the whole farm about her missing breakfast drink, and learns that the true culprit might be herself.

A fun and engaging rhyming book that gently addresses the emotional lives of animals and how dairy industry impacts a mother cow and her calf.

“Serena deserves a constellation of stars for consistently writing picture books that capture children’s attention and deliver important messages.” - G. Williams, editor.

Did you steal my MILK? it’s both an entertaining read and a resource to inspire parents and children to talk about increasingly important subjects. - L.A., writer.

It’s a fun and informative short story into environmental awareness published by Save the Animals Books.

• Perfect for parents wanting to educate their kids about animals, nature, and plant-based dairy alternatives.

• A wonderful gift for teachers, librarians, and educators who are looking to teach about intensive animal farming and how it affects animals, ecosystems, and climate.
• Great for fans of That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals and V Is for Vegan by Ruby Roth, What a Waste by Jess French, Linus the Vegetarian T. rex by Robert Neubecker, and the classics from Giles Andreae, Julian Lennon, and Mo Willems.

Did you steal my MILK? is a story that speaks directly to kids showing a mother’s bond with her calf and introducing veganism to early readers.

The book also includes a separate section, in collaboration with Animal Equality, with “facts” about dairy industry to help parents improve their knowledge on the matter.

From the Author

I write books for young children that have the future of our planet at their heart. I passionately believe that children are our last chance to improve our ecosystems, find solutions to major climate problems, save the planet and its inhabitants.

I also believe in the importance of reading to children from an early age, and hope that my books engage children (and parents!) and inspire them to believe in a better future.

Benefits of Environmental Education

According to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), there are four reasons to provide children with environmental education:

• To make them more aware and conscious of environmental problems.
• To boost their interest in caring for and improving the environment.
• To enhance their ability to learn about their surroundings.
• To broaden their ecological knowledge in subjects such as landscapes, air, water, natural resources and wildlife.
