My friend is Christian
Ann Tatlock
- Reading
- Read it as an opportunity to ask what Easter means to Ben’s family, while allowing the child to distinguish understanding someone’s faith from sharing or adopting it.
- Themes
- Friendship and learning about another family’s faith: Jeff attends an Easter service with Ben and Ben’s family and learns about their Christian faith. The situation clearly presents contact with another family’s religious practice, but the available details do not show whether the book endorses, questions or compares that faith.
- Worth knowing
- Christianity and Easter worship are central. The book’s treatment of Christian belief, other viewpoints, prayer, disagreement and any pressure to participate are not established.
