Description:

A very child-friendly introduction to the six world faiths. The focus of each title is a real child who is involved in a key event associated with a particular religion. This approach allows the author to present basic information about the faith, its beliefs and ways of worship through the eyes of a child of that faith. The setting is a different country for each faith, which broadens the interest of the series. The photographs are a key feature of these large-format books, giving young readers a privileged view of very personal aspects of children's faith and the role it plays in their everyday lives. Judaism in Israel follows Asher and his brothers in and around the city of Jerusalem. Follow them and find out more about the weekly Shabbat, and join them as they celebrate the festival of Passover.
