Top Vegan Christmas Gifts for Kids #4

By

*

These numbered posts about the top vegan Christmas presents for kids are not in any deliberate order – they are ALL EQUALLY AWESOME!

Trees Please is different from most of our other books because it contains no stories or rhymes. It is a picture book, scrapbook, notebook, art journal. A big, beautiful, spiral-bound, art-filled book explaining why trees are so important to the planet and everyone who lives on it, as well as what they mean to a few animals in particular. Its pages are filled with bright, colourful, idiosyncratic illustrations and backgrounds created with paint, coloured pencils, ink and collage – some with facts about tree-loving animals, some with space for the reader’s own notes and drawings. There is also a section explaining how to grow your own trees from apple seeds. A joyful picture book, notebook, scrapbook, art journal for children and adults.

But don’t delay – order today! To prevent waste our books are printed on demand, ie not until they’re ordered, so there’s no next day delivery. They will take at least a week, maybe even two, to reach you.

Order yours now! 😀

Poem for Halloween: The Ravens Watch

By
vegan Halloween poem

*

The gamekeeper walks, shotgun in hand,
A frown on his face, he litters the land
With barrels and bags of game bird feed,
With cages and wire, and bodies that bleed.

The bodies of animals killed by his gun
Are hung on the tree, one by one.
With hardness of heart, and misery of soul,
The gamekeeper's is a grotesque role.

Day after day, and year after year
He does his job with no guilt and no fear.
What he doesn't know is that someone is watching
And when the storm comes ... his clock will stop ticking.

Land Rover won't start, the engine's kaput,
The storm closes in as he trudges on foot.
He strides for the castle, looking for shelter,
He's whipped by debris as the wind rises higher.

It's darker now as the rain lashes down.
The ravens watch the sinister clown.
He's soaked and he's angry, he yells at the sky,
And the lightening yells back "And now you must die!"

You have to be really careful not to accidently buy something containing animal products when you’re buying art and craft materials but, thanks to an ever increasing number of people like us demanding cruelty-free art supplies, there are more on the market than ever before 😀

The wonderful ARTdiscount store gives us detailed information about which products are vegan-friendly and make it easy to be sure you’re not accidentally hurting anyone with your creative pursuits.

Here is their detailed page, divided into specific sections like ‘vegan watercolour artist’, ‘vegan calligraphy’, ‘vegan sketcher’ and ‘vegan kids’ art materials’, you’ll find everything you could want right there 😀

Now then, I need some ink! Thanks ARTdiscount 😀

The End 😀

If you missed the beginning you can read the whole story here

And if you like rhyming stories generally, there are more on this page 😀

*********************************************

“We’re doomed!  We’re doomed!”  cried a pink panicked pig.

The other was mute in distress.

“Listen to me,” came a voice down a tree,

“I’ll get you both out of this mess.”

***

“The answer is simple, you need to be brave,

Keep going, walk on, don’t look back.

The forest will feed you and shelter you too.

You will find that for nothing you’ll lack.”

***

So the two little pigs changed direction at last

As they chose to live and be free.

Their salty tears dried on their pink rosy cheeks,

Ever after they lived happily.

Then my suffering’s unnecessary too.
