Service with Guru Nanak (Learning TO BE)

“When the school bell rings, and it’s time for home, can you spare a minute or two? The teacher is tired from her long, busy day, can you say, “I’d like to help you.”

Guru Nanak, believed that God lives in each and everything. He reminds us to remember that each time we serve, we are serving God. He encourages us to make service a part of our daily lives. This board book Service With Guru Nanak will enable children to explore the many ways in which they can serve friends, family and the environment in their everyday lives.

The Learning TO BE series is a creative way to introduce your little ones to big values in an engaging manner. Written in simple text and magical verse, this series is perfect to read aloud to toddlers (2-4 year olds) and excellent for beginning readers (4-8 year olds).
