Facing the Lion: Growing Up Maasai on the African Savanna

(2) 4-6 In a conversational voice, Lekuton, a Maasai, describes episodes of growing up a nomadic tribesman in Africa. He addresses the ways Maasai life differs from American life without making Maasai ways sound strange or exotic. Two pages of clear color photos and a map add visual reference. The message that readers can become what they wish by perseverance and dedication comes through loud and clear.
