In our research the right of the child for spiritual development is central. Grimmitt's distinction in "teaching in", "about" and "from religion" is extended with the concept of "teaching for"--a concept that connects religion with children's attitude of wondering as an "ontological calling" in their life. The question whether a non-religious story can function as a rich learning environment for "teaching for", is explored in a "picture voice"-research design. In a small pilot study with four children in primary school age an episode of the story of "The Little Prince" was presented as a "rich learning environment". We conclude from this pilot that the narration of a non-religious story, together with the child's drawing of the story's "critical incident" and a subsequent conversation ("picture voice") functions as a stepping stone for the development of spirituality.
