Seeking the Mystical Child: Nurturing Young Children’s Identity, Faith, and Belief by Danette Littleton and Meryl Sole is a unique book that presents insights into children’s unnoticed spiritual worlds. The authors acquired voices and portraits of children from differing cultures through qualitative research. Interpretations of ancient and contemporary Judaism, Christianity, and Islam provided context. This book is for those who desire to understand children’s lived experiences, seen and unseen, of wonder, awe, and purity of heart. Seekers of meaning in the lives of children may find meaning for themselves in Seeking the Mystical Child: Nurturing Young Children’s Identity, Faith, and Belief.
