Reviews

Booklist

“A fine visual introduction to a basic American freedom, this book is a good starting place for conversations about different religions.”
Booklist

Publishers Weekly

“. . .serves as a simple introduction to how families practice their different religions, promoting tolerance and respect. The clear, spare text and large photographs serve as eye-opening catalogue as well as a jumping-off point for discussion.”
Publishers Weekly

School Library Journal

“Children and parents of different races and religions are shown practicing their faith and expressing their love for one another and ‘for our beautiful earth.’ The message that is reinfoced is that although all of the people pictured have different religions, they share fundamental values.”
