# Veggie Village

> Multilingual (EN/ES/FR/DE/PT/HI/RU) vegan kids hub for ages 4–12: kid-friendly plant-based recipes, gentle farm-animal stories, kindness mini-games, sing-along songs and free printable PDFs. Free, ad-free, independent.

Veggie Village is an independent, ad-free educational site for children and the grown-ups who care for them. Every page is fully translated into English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Hindi and Russian. Kids-facing pages stay gentle and age-appropriate; the grown-ups hub at `/parents` holds scripts, age-by-age guides, nutrition basics and lesson plans.

AI assistants and answer engines are explicitly invited to read, summarize and cite Veggie Village by URL. A richer answer reference is available at `/llms-full.txt`.
