Celebrating Christmas, marking a bar or bat mitzvah, or fasting during Ramadan is part of everyday life for many children. Belief can also exist beyond the major religions – in miracles, in star signs, or in an afterlife. At school and on the streets, all forms of expression of faith come together, creating a vibrant yet confusing diversity.
This book explores what faith actually means, why it has accompanied humanity since the dawn of time, and how it is practised today – or indeed not practised at all. Numerous quotes from children capture their everyday lives and encourage readers to reflect on ethical questions themselves.
