Annabelle & Aiden: OH MY GODS! A History of Belief

My children love all the Annabelle and Aiden books that we own. We looked forward to reading this one. As a Humanist family, we enjoyed this book as a way to initiate a conversation about religion and why people have believed different things throughout the years.The story is in typical picture book form with a natural rhythm that introduced the different beliefs and where they originated. Nothing dry. But, I really liked the Art because hidden inside were facts about the topic in case your child wanted to dig a little deeper. That’s what made this read engaging for both our younger and older children.

This is a good introduction for preschool through elementary. It offers jumping off points for more research and family conversations. I really enjoy it and I’m glad I’ve added it to my family’s library.
