Raising Vegetarian Children: A Guide to Good Health and Family Harmony.

by Joanne Stepaniak, Vesanto Melina

If I were only going to buy one book on raising a vegetarian child, this would be the book. It has excellent nutrition information and ample recipes. Better yet it covers respect for your child's decision to eat vegetarian, support from you in coping with an essentially non-vegetarian world, and your leadership role in helping him eat "healthy vegetarian." Finally, since much of the book focuses on family relationships and nutrition, it is an excellent guide for raising children, vegetarian and omnivore alike.

A Teen's Guide to Going Vegetarian by Judy Krizmanic

This casual book was written for teens. It covers all the basics of becoming vegetarian from what it means to be vegetarian to dealing with the reactions of family and friends to helping teens make certain they get the nutrients needed to be healthy. It has a good chapter on surviving at school and another on surviving sticky situations. The book also has recipes for the types of food teens love. This is a comprehensive book and a wonderful gift for teen-age vegetarians and vegans. Although this book is out-of-print, you can still buy a copy (cheaply, too).
