Description
A friendly and inclusive look at how we live our lives, celebrating our differences and similarities.
There are all kinds of beliefs. People may be Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Muslims or Sikhs, or belong to other religions. Some people have non-religious beliefs. We can show what we believe by how we dress, what we eat, how we behave and how we treat other people. What are your beliefs?
This non-fiction picture book celebrates the different beliefs people have, and is illustrated throughout with beautiful artwork. It covers beliefs as guides for living, belief in God, saying prayers, beliefs and food, beliefs and clothes, holy books, places of worship, worship at home, festivals, special times and sharing beliefs. The book includes notes for teachers and parents on helping children to develop self esteem and empathy by understanding how people differ and how they are the same.
The All Kinds Of series is aimed at children aged 5 and up and offers a friendly and inclusive look at how we live our lives, celebrating our differences as well as what we have in common. Titles in the four-book series are: All Kinds Of Beliefs, All Kinds Of Bodies, All Kinds Of Families and All Kinds Of Feelings.
