(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Andrée Pouliot. Sikhism's founder (1469–1539) was a fine poet and tradition-challenging philosopher whose principles were notably monotheistic and caste free: “Worship one God, treat everyone [including women] equally…share with the less fortunate.” The dozen stories here illuminate such ideas while recounting Nanak's legendary life, starting with his laughter at birth. Pouliot's gouache and watercolor art, recalling traditional Indian illustrations, completes an attractive introduction to Sikhism.
