This book is getting to introduce us to the history of different religions. It shows us the uniqueness of all people and what they believe and their values and praises.

I recommend this book to fifth graders because it is a little more complex and a more serious conversation to have with kids. This book is very informational about all the different religions. This can help kids realize that many places in the world do things completely different from their usuals.

As children jump into piles of leaves and help their parents rake the yard, they also wonder: Why do leaves change color? With bright illustrations and clear, simple text, this book explains what happens to leaves in autumn. This informative concept book includes detailed pictures of leaves in different sizes, shapes, and colors and a list of activities that kids can do with leaves.
