is a fascinating critique of how "farm" animals are represented in children’ literature.

Janae Dimick received her PhD in education from Chapman University in 2016. She is currently Assistant Professor of English at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria, California.

“Janae Dimick is one of those rare individuals whose commitments to justice for animals animates not only her intellectual life but the political and ethical project that guides her life. is a masterful work that needs to be read by educators and far-reaching constituencies alike; it is among the growing literature that needs to be integrated into critical pedagogy and all forms of liberatory praxis for the sake of both human and non-human liberation—total liberation!” —Peter McLaren, Distinguished Professor in Critical Studies, Chapman University

“This inspiring book conducts detailed multimodal analysis of picturebooks, reveals the harmful ways they represent animals and the environment, and opens up paths towards more compassionate ways of imagining the world.” —Arran Stibbe, Professor of Ecological Linguistics, University of Gloucestershire
