Best eastern religious books for children according to redditors

There's a series sold on Amazon called "This is My Faith". There's one little children's book for each of several different religions explained by children who follow that faith. They have one for Buddhism and one for Islam. I haven't read them myself, but saw them on an Atheist parents board and figured I'd pass it along.

I got a kids version, mostly so I could read it with my children.

Illuminations from the Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad-Gita (For Children and Beginners): In both English and Hindi languages

I like this thread.

I'll respond with my favorite story. It is the story where Ganesha and Murugan (also called Kartikeya, different retellings use different names, but I'll stick with Murugan because that's how I read it) both want a mango, so their father Shiva sets up a contest. Whoever can circle the world first will win the mango. Murugan gets on his peacock and speeds away, while Ganesha walks around his parents, and Ganesha explains that for him, his mother and father are the world, and he wins the mango.

Here is a slightly different retelling, where the sage Narada offers a mango to make mischief (since the mango cannot be split equally between Ganesha and Murugan--here referred to as Kartikeya) and proposes the contest.

I read this, and other Ganesha stories in a wonderful book called "The Broken Tusk: Stories of the Hindu God Ganesha" retold by Uma Krishnaswami and illustrated by Maniam Selven.

My favorite is "The Weak Willed Wolf"

These are very basic, but I think that's part of the charm.
