In this children's book, Xuxa, the Brazilian “queen of the children”, tells the story of Mimi, a little cow who didn't want to become food. The book shares the importance of respecting animals and introduces the concept of veganism. Additionally, it includes vegan recipes selected by Xuxa herself, allowing children to prepare snacks without any ingredients of animal origin.
