Description

Through vivid, full-color photographs and easily understood sentences, see how children from around the world practice their religious beliefs. Looking at the rich diversity as well as the underlying similarities of a variety of spiritual traditions, young readers understand that, although the world’s religions have many differences, their primary goals are the same – to “love and care for one another...and for our beautiful Earth.”
