An excellent book for showing kids MANY different religions, and how people celebrate them. It also shows how people with different faiths can be friends and share.
Faith is one of the first multicultural books I read, and was also one of the best. I enjoy reading about different religions, and this book illustrates the similarities between many of the most popular ones. While being a very easy book to read, Faith carries a powerful message that encourages readers to reflect. The authors bring up numerous examples of actions or characteristics that different religious faiths share. A Christian child who reads this book, and who only knows about his church a...more

This book does a really good job explaining religions and faith in a child friendly way. It is informational about a variety of religions. It's not biased nor does it focus on one particular religion more than the others. I really liked how there are lots of pictures on each page as examples and how each picture has a caption that explains a little about what is going on in that particular image.
I probably wouldn't read this book aloud to a class unless it was necessary. I can see there possibly...more

A variety of lovely photos accompany this ambitiously simple discussion of the various elements of faith that are common to all faiths. I think this book offers a significant contribution to the area of interfaith education for young children.
A beautiful picture book featuring the many faiths in our world. The photos are amazing, I could just sit and look at them all day long. A wonderful book to use with young children to teach them about faiths other than their own.
A powerful book with beautiful photographs of children and families from all over the world celebrating many faiths. I appreciate the glossary of terms to know and background information provided at the end of the book.
This is an ideal book for introducing young children to the diversity of world faiths. It shows the practices of many different faiths while also highlighting the ways that people are the same.

Absolutely beautiful book! Wonderful way to introduce babe to religious diversity.
great way to show the ways that children around the world demonstrate their faith
This is a perfect introduction to the idea of faith and the different religions around the world. Told with simple truths of what our religions have in common, the real story is told with beautiful photographs of children participating in religious life.
Great photos of children around the world practicing their various faiths. I was more involved than my kids in this one, but I'm giving it four stars still because it's important! We'll try it again one more time before it's due...
I had read this book before and the reread was at least as good. Such beautiful pictures and such a good exploration of faith as expressed and practiced throughout various parts of the world.
strengths: layout; photos; scope (very basic info, but covers many different religions)
weaknesses: inconsistency in captions
