Amy’s father had always said she was a special child. And Amy thought so, too. After all, only really special people live in castles. Suri’s mother reckons there are worse things in life than living in a castle. But Suri and her brothers, Bear and Erik, disagree. The castle is located in the dull flatlands, which will take some adjusting. It's also managed by their mother’s boyfriend, who’ll be living there with them. The fact that he has a daughter doesn’t make things any easier, because Amy’s pretty special. Amy can barely contain her excitement at the prospect of being part of a blended family. She's thrilled to have siblings. But bringing two families with two different backgrounds together can be difficult, and as tension grows within the stone walls of their new home, it's starting to look like Amy's wish of having a big family might not come true. Bestselling author Monika Feth’s story is told from the alternating perspectives of Amy, a girl with Down syndrome, and her stepsister-to-be, Suri.
Can children theologize without substantial requirements? Initially, the movement of child theology accentuated children’s original theological creativity. But in the last years, several authors point out that children need theological food in order to originally theologize. One of the most appropriate medium are children’s books. This volume presents the lectures of the international symposium “Children’s books: Nurture for children’s theology”. Proven experts demonstrate empirically studied strategies in order to stimulate children’s theological reasoning, be it about God, Jesus as the savior, death, the soul, Christmas and many other theological topics more. This reader presents the state of the art in theologizing with children stimulated by children’s books.
The third meeting of the European network of children’s theology took place in April 2013 in Trondheim, Norway. Sturla Sagberg organised this meeting with great care and commitment, and intended to publish the contributions to the conference in a book to make them accessible to the wider public. The approach of children’s theology has been specified and differentiated over the course of the last ten years. This book provides insight into the process and results of different European and North American research projects. As the practice of children’s theology is linked to the “great questions”, which are equally raised by children’s philosophy, the range of topics of both the conference and this book are marked by the terms children’s theology, children’s philosophy and spirituality.

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Die vorliegende Arbeit handelt von dem kindlichen Umgang mit den Themen Alter, Krankheit und Tod.
