All people are born and die - and every nation has amazing customs and rituals associated with birth and death. What is initiation? What are “male” and “female” houses? Why is the birth of a boy or a girl treated differently? How do different nations bury their dead? You will learn about this and much more from the book by Marina Butovskaya - a story about the friendship of Russian and Papuan girls and what they learned just by caring for orphaned kittens.
