Religion as a genre includes stories related to the Bible, biblical characters, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and any other religious affiliation and its attendant holidays, characters, or tenets. This genre permeates nearly every format of books — from board books to Bible story compilations for the middle grades. Religious diversity is also covered in school curricula, so textbooks often include excerpts from titles focusing on these issues — an added source of revenue for authors.

Books that fall into this genre include Maria Shriver’s What’s Heaven? (Golden Books Adult Publishing) and Bryn Barnard’s The Genius of Islam (Knopf Books for Young Readers).
