All human beings encounter loss and death, as well as the grief
associated with these experiences. It is therefore important for
children and adolescents to understand that such events are
inevitable and to learn how to accept loss and cope with their
emotions. In order to help children through their pain, parents and
caregivers need access to the proper resources that will help them
discuss these topics, and educational professionals need reliable
resources for creating courses of study on these subjects. In
Death, Loss, and Grief in Literature for Youth, Alice Crosetto and
Rajinder Garcha identify hundreds of resources that will help
educators, professionals, parents, siblings, guardians, and
students learn about coping with the loss of a loved one and the
grief process. These resources include books, Internet sites, and
media titles aimed at students and those helping them through the
grieving process. Chapters in this volume include fiction and
non-fiction titles about the loss of a family member, a friend, and
a pet, as well as general reference resources, curricular
resources, and websites. Annotations provide complete
bibliographical descriptions of the entries, and each entry is
identified with the grade levels for which it is best suited.
Reviews from recognized publications are also included wherever
possible. Anyone interested in locating helpful resources regarding
death and grieving will find much of value in this essential tool.

Native North Americans have rich and diverse cultures and
traditions. However, many misconceptions, prejudices, and
stereotypes exist due to the lack of understanding and ignorance of
these cultures. It is important that children and adolescents learn
about and appreciate the invaluable contributions that North
American Native groups have made to American society. Equally
important is the availability of resources that accurately and
objectively portray the historical events that occurred when
European settlers displaced thousands of Native North Americans
from their ancestral homelands. In Native North Americans in
Literature for Youth, Alice Crosetto and Rajinder Garcha identify
hundreds of appropriate and quality resources, including books,
Internet sites, and media titles for K-12 students and educators.
Entries are subdivided into chapters covering geographic regions,
history, religions, social life, customs and traditions, nations,
oral tradition, biographies, and fiction. Additionally, there are
chapters for general reference resources, curricular resources for
educators, media, and Internet sites. Annotations provide complete
bibliographical descriptions of the entries, and each entry is
identified with the grade level for which it is best suited.
Reviews, awards, series, and URLs for supplemental online resources
are also included. Anyone-especially students, teachers,
librarians, and parents-interested in locating useful and accurate
resources regarding Native North Americans will find this reference
book a helpful and essential tool.
