Masai and I

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.

Reviews

Ace is a young boy who lives with his eccentric and extremely loving grandparents. Their colourful characters play a big part in the story, helping keep it very entertaining and a pleasure to read for any young child . . . This is a fun read and comes highly recommended.

—— Prudence Wade , The Independent

Simple, straightforward, great for reading aloud to young children

—— Child Education

The illustrations are subtle and Beck retells the story without being too wordy, or indeed, worthy

—— Junior

Beautifully and intricately illustrated . . . Offers a warm and reassuring introduction to the religious meaning behind the festive season

—— Parents News

A brightly illustrated and delightfully simple version of the best known story of all

—— Sunday Business Post (Eire)
