Self love, kindness, celebrating our differences, nutrition, diabetes, geography, foster care and so much more!

Teddy is a loveable character that children of all ages are really connecting with! These stories are for family enjoyment and hope to spark some great conversations about the many lessons we can learn from Teddy’s journey.

June 19, 2023 TAF Interview Series: Children’s Book Author & Animal Advocate: Sabrina Fair Andronica
** May contain content some may find sensitive **
In this episode, Sabrina Fair Andronica Returns to promote her amazing 2nd book, Cruelty Free is the Way to Be! As always, our conversations are fun yet educational and informative. Join us as we discuss her book and how it is helping to change the hearts and minds of children and adults alike, about the very controversial topic of laboratory animal testing. We go on to discuss how we, as consumers, can support companies who have made the decision to be "Cruelty-Free" and even talk about some of the advances in science that will hopefully help to eliminate animal testing in the future.

About Sabrina:
As a young girl, Sabrina Fair Andronica showed a keen interest in writing. At seven, she wrote her first screenplay with the help of her screenwriting father. The following year, The Los Angeles Times published a Kids' Reading Page to promote literacy before age nine and her little fun submissions about animals were chosen twice. Twenty-two years later, Sabrina became a children’s author, writing touching stories that promote animal activism. A list of her published titles include, Adventure At Rainbow Bridge, Labrador Retriever With The Block Head, and Cruelty-Free Is The Way To Be! Each fictional story is always just and fair.

Sabrina’s goal is to share with future generations her book brand, Always Fair Books, which shows awareness, compassion and enlightenment of animal activism and self growth. She has raised funds through her books for animal rescues and has visited a dozen seasonal camps and after school programs at shelters and sanctuaries. She’s also appeared on several podcasts, where she gets to shine light on her activism and book brand.
