| Summary/Abstract |
What is God? is an introduction to the ideas behind God and religion, and brings forward complex ideas in a way children will understand. It is written with clarity and is beautifully illustrated with just the right blend of seriousness and humor. It compares different religions -- Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism - and their holy books, looks at misunderstandings and arguments among people of different religions, and talks about praying as well as feeling connected to everything in the world. If you want to talk about spirituality with a child, or introduce them to philosophy or religion, or just help them to begin to center themselves and their feelings about the world, this book is a great beginning.
