The Boy Who Spoke to God — Randa Handler

A young Greek boy, in this non-religious folk tale, helps feuding tribes find peace during their diverse celebrations of the holidays! Unable to agree on their ideas about God and religious celebrations, four different ethnic tribes-Greeks, Chinese, Zulus, and Mayans-who live together harmoniously most of the year, combining aspects of each of their cultures to make their kingdom strong and prosperous, suddenly become divisive when religious holidays approach. During such times, they cannot agree on the timing or manner of religious traditions, and they each have their own god who looks and dresses as they do.
