About
People who practice the Sikh religion worship in a gurdwara. The word means "door to the Guru." The Gurus were important religious leaders. Anyone can come inside a gurdwara, regardless of their religion. Sikhs believe that everyone is equal. An activity is included to help kids extend their learning.

"This selection from the Where We Gather series (6 titles) introduces readers to the gurdwara, the religious building for Sikhs. The book is simple and fact based, identifying the Sikh holy book (Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji), the spaces found in a gurdwara, and the customs of Sikh people who attend religious services and other events there. Kaur brings an authentic point of view to the material as both a member of the Sikh community and the author of several other children's books about Sikh history and practice. The text is illustrated with appropriate, well-captioned stock photos. While readers may be left with questions about Sikh practices, this book is a good introduction to a place and religion that may be unfamiliar to many non-Sikh readers. A craft activity and additional resources conclude."
