Product Description
A little girl learns about the Masai tribe at school and daydreams about what her life would have been like if she had been born into the tall, proud East African tribe. Comparing her life and theirs, she celebrates both the differences and the similarities and she learns that she has her own spiritual and even physical kinship with them.
‘The text and pictures achieve a perfect harmony … The comparisons are always positive … A joy of a book’ Junior Education.

OUTSTANDING book about Africa and relating it us!
14 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am homeschooling my two young girls and we are studying the continent of Africa. I do a LOT of reading reviews and researching the books before I buy. Luckily, I chanced upon Masai and I and was so enthralled when I received it, that I have to say no child should be without this book! If you are looking to have your child understand another culture and somehow relate it to them -- THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU -- no matter what country/continent/culture is your focus. The little girl ponders about how her day would go if she lived in a culture so remote in lifestyle. It really makes you appreciate our conveniences, yet brings us to respect and reflect on how that must be to live so differently. But remember, we do have a tremendous amount in common with each other simply because we are human. Imagine what it would be like to live in someone else's shoes for one day! Then buy this book; it is truly a gem!

My third-graders love it!

Format:Paperback
I use this as a trade book during our study of Kenya. It is a great tool for comparing our society with theirs. The text is age-appropriate and is enhanced by the beautiful illustrations. My students love to read it again and again!
