In our pluralistic world, children are often exposed to religions other than their own. This book notes that all the traditions have saints and sages who can be "examples to children of how to live life to the highest standard." The author adds: "Their lives can be emulated without joining their respective religions."

This book focuses on leaders from the major religions with a brief biography and a story of some incident in his or her life. Then eight-year-old Amy discusses the story with the saint or sage, revealing what a seven – twelve year old (the audience for this paperback) would be interested in. Covered are Rabi'a (Islam), Saint Francis (Catholicism), Baal Shem Tov (Judaism), Grandma Aggie (Native American), His Holiness The Dalai Lama (Tibetan Buddhism) and Amma (Hinduism).
