I hope you've had a chance to read about the distinction I made between spirituality and morality at the Bright Wings blog. The works listed below reflect a position or disposition toward God, toward reality, toward oneself, and toward others--a disposition that one takes personally, a disposition that effects these relationships: "One has to do with behavior and choices that are informed by a concept of the good---that's morality. Morality is about the goodness or evil of actions. Spirituality is a personalized sense that more is real than sensory data, that reality is deeper than "mere" biology, and one can connect with this deeper, cosmic reality. You could say that the personalized relationship with or connection to this "deeper reality" is spirituality."

Many/most of these fictional works involve Christian spirituality. I looked for fiction from Hindu and Buddhist spiritualities but did not find any. Could this be a gap in my knowledge of material? There are plenty of nonfiction works explaining these religions, but no fiction that allows a parent and child to enter these spiritualities through the modality of fiction. However, maybe a Hindu or Buddhist reader will see their spirituality reflected in some of these stories nevertheless! Of unique interest to non-Christians I would propose Uri Schulevitz's The Treasure or The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery.
