Information about the series edition: The consistently competency-oriented new edition explores the religious concepts of elementary school students by consistently starting from the children's questions. These questions run like a common thread throughout the book, in the spirit of "theologizing with children." "Children ask about life" enables students to engage in exploratory, independent religious learning and provides them with space to make their own experiences. The clear page layout focuses attention on the essentials. Engaging and high-quality illustrations offer opportunities for diverse discoveries. A manageable amount of text caters to the children's still limited reading abilities. The two accompanying characters, a boy and a girl, playfully encourage children to continue asking questions, researching, and reflecting. Thanks to the assignments, new insights can be gained.
