Publishing for the 75th anniversary of the Partition of India in
August 2022, this book is a unique exploration of the rich and
complicated history of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Britain.
There are many ways of telling the same story, and how you tell it
depends on your point of view. Some stories are so complicated, or
difficult to explain, that they're not often told at all. Like the
story of how a company ended up running a country, or how one man
drawing a line on a map could change the lives of millions of
people forever. This book aims to piece together the interesting,
surprising, and sometimes very sad story of India, Pakistan,
Bangladesh, and Britain, and how these countries have shaped one
another over the centuries. From exploring the vast empires and
amazing inventions of ancient India, to revealing the challenges
faced by South Asian migrants to Britain - or celebrating the
amazing culture, innovations, inventions, and achievements of
British people of South Asian heritage today - this book shows how
the past, present and future of these four countries will always be
intertwined. Written by Donna and Vikesh Amey Bhatt who were
inspired to write this book for their two young sons, with
consultancy by Rajbir Hazelwood, historian of South Asia and Modern
Britain, Lands of Belonging includes an exploration of the impact
of British rule over India (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh were all
one country at the time), from the foundation of the East India
Company to India's involvement in supporting Britain during both
World Wars, to India's fight for independence and the British
government's decision to Partition the country, resulting in the
largest migration of people in history.
The flood is over - but while Mr Noah builds a house out of the
ark, Mrs Noah creates a garden. Luckily her famous pockets contain
seeds and she has some help from the children - and the creatures.
Midsummer morning brings some very special surprises! This magical
story from the creators of Mrs Noah's Pockets explores new
beginnings, care for nature and, above all, home.
The Little Soul and the Sun is a simple and powerful story that
brings children a very profound truth: there is not absolute good
or bad--that underneath all that happens in the world, all that we
call "good" and all that we call "bad," is love. Your child will
discover a God that she or he can love, because God is love, as are
all the Little Souls who are a part of God. And perhaps parents,
too, will rediscover who they really are.
This selective bibliography makes it easier than ever to find
quality children's books that focus directly on religious themes or
characters. Dole offers more than 675 critical evaluations of
recently published (since 1990) materials appropriate for preschool
through middle school students. Material is arranged alphabetically
by author within subject-based chapters (e.g., God, Prayer,
Christian Church History and Biography). Works covered range from
age-appropriate reference materials to folktales, prose, poetry,
plays, and picture books. Reflecting publishing trends, the largest
sections of the book are those on Christianity and Judaism, but
Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and African, Chinese, and
Native American beliefs are also addressed. Useful as a ready
reference and collection development guide, this book is an ideal
reference and collection development tool for school, public, and
church libraries.

"This new resource has been declared Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur by
William B. Smith, S.T.D., Censor Librorum and Dennis J. Sullivan,
Vicar General, Archdiocese of New York""Millions of books have been
sold, teaching adults the practice of centering prayer. Finally, a
guide for children "
Centering prayer is a way of opening our whole being to God,
beyond thoughts, words and emotions. It is simple and practical--a
way of preparing heart and mind to receive the gift of intimate
relationship with God. Jesus said, "When you pray, go to your inner
room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your
Father who sees in secret will reward you." (Matthew 6:6)
Frank Jelenek shows young children just how to do that. The first
guide to a contemplative prayer practice for children, "Journey to
the Heart" both instructs and inspires. Many parents and teachers
will learn from this colorful treasure of a book, as well Until
now, parents and teachers had no resource available to introduce
children to the joys of communicating with God in this special,
intimate way.
This loving book makes it easy for children to share in the
spiritual nourishment of centering prayer through age-appropriate
illustrations and text that provides clear directions and
encouragement in simple, fun language. Ideal for ages 3 - 10.
Religious Education as a Dialogue with Difference addresses current
issues over the study of religion in publicly maintained schools.
Are liberal, inclusive approaches to the study of religion suited
to the aims of education in a democracy? Do liberal democratic aims
offer the right framework for the study of religion? By presenting
research on English secondary school pupils' motivation in
religious education, this volume argues that religious education is
best understood as a democratic dialogue with difference. The book
offers empirical evidence for this claim, and it demonstrates how
learners gain in religious literacy, both through the exercise of
democratic citizenship in the classroom and towards the goal of
life-long democratic citizenship.
A friendly and inclusive look at how we live our lives, celebrating our differences and similarities.
There are all kinds of beliefs. People may be Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Muslims or Sikhs, or belong to other religions. Some people have non-religious beliefs. We can show what we believe by how we dress, what we eat, how we behave and how we treat other people. What are your beliefs?
This non-fiction picture book celebrates the different beliefs people have, and is illustrated throughout with beautiful artwork. It covers beliefs as guides for living, belief in God, saying prayers, beliefs and food, beliefs and clothes, holy books, places of worship, worship at home, festivals, special times and sharing beliefs. The book includes notes for teachers and parents on helping children to develop self esteem and empathy by understanding how people differ and how they are the same.

Titles in the four-book series are: All Kinds Of Beliefs, All Kinds Of Bodies, All Kinds Of Families and All Kinds Of Feelings.

shows how God is with us every day, in every way. It is a vibrant
