CHICKPEA RUNS AWAY

Chickpea the cow lives in a factory farm. She watches as her friends and family are taken away to an uncertain fate. One day, the farmer leads Chickpea and all the rest of the cows outdoors to a scary-looking truck, and Chickpea knows she shouldn’t go. Making a split-second decision, she leaps the fence and escapes into the woods. For the first time ever, Chickpea discovers the world outside the farm and, thanks to some delicious vegan pie, makes new friends who welcome her with loving hearts. Chickpea’s story is inspired by many real-life cases of runaway cows.

“We recently ordered ‘Chickpea Runs Away’, and have read it over many times since (at my children’s request!). My kids (4 and 7) are very sensitive to any violent topics so I wasn’t sure whether I should save it for when they got older, but I had a look through and realized it was just perfect for them. It tells the heart-touching story of a young calf living on a factory farm. Without getting into the horrific realities of factory farms, it lets the reader know that it is a horrible place for any being to live. Throughout the book, the reader is rooting for Chickpea to find a better life. The fact that Chickpea is a young one herself with a loving mother allows children to easily relate to her and feel for her struggles. I highly recommend this book!” – Heather, Canada

“A touching tale which shines a light on the harsh reality of animal farming without being too graphic, and inspires compassion for all animals.” - Violet’s Vegan Comics
