Everyone Prays: Celebrating Faith Around the World by Alexis York Lumbard ( Author), Alireza Sadeghian (Illustrator)

Everyone Prays: Celebrating Faith Around the World
This is a nice, inclusive book about religion for young children.  It shows people who participate in a wide variety of religions praying from Jews, Christians and Muslims, to Buddhists, Maasai, and Native Americans.  I like that the book is very multi-cultural and accepting of all religions, but, by stating that "everyone" prays, it leaves out the children who are raised in households that do not pray.  It might be more inclusive if it said something like many people pray.
