I don't feel comfortable having it be a new post, that will go into everyone's inboxes who subscribes, so I went back and found an old post that could be combined with something else (Galápagos George by Jean Craighead George moved to the Worldwide Endangered Species List post).
Ironically, a book about extinction is a story about death.
This, however, is about world religions. I have a student in the 2022-2023 school year who has requested a block on religions of the world and how they care for their dead. I think it will be really interesting! I'm not entirely sure why I don't feel comfortable writing about it more publicly, but there you go. There's just something about death. We don't really talk about it in school -- or in society, for that matter -- except the Holocaust and 9/11. And for both of those things you have to get parent permission in advance.
So as I wrap my mind around this topic, I'm going to keep a list of resources here:
