Excellent book identifying what is faith and some traditional beliefs including a map of religions around the world. A good platform from which to introduce young children to a variety of beliefs and expose them to the commonalities and differences of cultures.
I discovered a lovely book on various religions, but through the perspective of the youth in that culture. The detalied photographs and impresively extensive overview of the practices and holidays of that religion made the book a fairly decent reference piece and not just a kids book. The photos of the children from all over the world a part of all sorts of religions was an apreciated feature that brought a lot of assumed differences aside to show how alike we all are and at the same time wonderfully unique.
Provides a good overview from a child's angle of the major world religions. Some terms aren't sufficiently clear. Appropriate for grade 3 or 4 and up, though the images might be interesting to earlier primary children.
This beautiful book teaches children about each others religions. It is written from the perspective of children and is easy to understand. It has beautiful pictures and really gets the main points across from each major religion.
A fabulous resource for information on the major religions of the world. A non-biased take from the point of view of children and how they celebrate their religion.
It is very important for students to be exposed to different cultures, including religions. Often children are only exposed to the religion of their family and maybe a close friend's family but it is important to be comfortable with others as well, it leads to more tolerance and a wider view of the world.
Before going into each modern faith, there are pages on "What is Faith", "Traditional beliefs", and Religions around the world". Several pages on Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Then a page each on Zoroastrianism, Shinto, Taoism, Jainism, Bahai. Includes a glossary.
