Summary

As a child’s experience becomes ever more international, so will their exposure to the world’s religions. Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism—all these and more are celebrated and explored in this hands-on book. Through pop-ups, flaps, and fold-outs, a child learns things like that a Sikh boy may wear a romala, or a Muslim girl a hijab over her hair. All Kinds of Beliefs demystifies what goes on inside a church, gudwara, wat, mandir, and mosque in terms that children can understand—and with colorful illustrations that will delight their parents too! Along with an extra-large religious festivals poster, this book is as useful as it is fun to read.
