Susan Linder passed this question on to me, because I'm her "school librarian." Some good books for the child in question might be:
I Wanted to Know All About God by Virginia Kroll
Because Nothing Looks Like God by Lawrence Kushner
What Is God? by Etan Boritzer
Hello, Hello, Are You There, God? by Molly Cone
Where Does God Live? by August Gold
most any book by Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, including In God's Name, and God In Between
for parents, to help them know how to talk with kids:
Where Does God Live? by Rabbi Marc Gellman & Monsignor Thomas Hartman
When Children Ask About God by Harold S. Kushner
Teaching Your Children About God by David J. Wolpe
