This book is dedicated to all of the plant- and animal-loving people who care about the Earth and each other.

To my late mother and father, Beverly and Robert, who had so much love for me and made so many sacrifices so that I could lead the life that I live.

To my brother, Andrew, who is my greatest teacher and is always there for me.

To my beloved Sivan, who inspires me every day to be the best version of myself.
