Exploding Gummies

On the surface, Exploding Gummies is an illustrated adventure story for kids, but it also serves as an invaluable tool to help parents articulate the moral basis for ethical Veganism to their children.

Using terms that youngsters can grasp and process, this story helps parents connect to their children's inherent desire to end suffering for living creatures-and to cultivate this impulse by embracing a lifestyle of ethical Veganism.

Exploding Gummies tells the tale of two sweet gummy candy friends who want to learn more about where they came from. This desire takes them on a startling journey deep into the world of candy production.

Sadly, as the gummies discover along the way, the process used to create them bears no resemblance to the delightful, brightly-colored, final product. They learn that animals must die in order to create gelatin-a key component of gummy candies-and that it is only the suffering of many pigs, cows, chickens, and horses that brought them and their relatives into existence.
