Spirituality for Children experientially introduces children to questions about the mystery of the universe and life. It is designed to expose children to insights from world religions, feminism, science, and ordinary and extraordinary experiences of life. It gives children the opportunity to express their own thoughts and feelings in an active and developmentally sensitive way.
