My specialty is breaking down the divisions between faith traditions, but much can be learned by exploring specific religions or religious holidays with kids. Below, you will find my picks for kids’ books that accurately represent a variety of faith-based practices without being overly-promotional. They are geared for kids age 4-10, so “board books” are not included.
