(3) 4-6 Translated by Shelley Tanaka. Illustrated by Nora Tomm. Translated from the German, this is a highly visual introduction to Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. After a general overview on religion, each short chapter includes three double-page spreads: a written description of the individual religion; a colorful double-spread scene incorporating many practices and rituals (and sometimes many different countries); and a key to the detailed illustration explaining ceremonies, practices, symbols, and more.
