When a Masai father in Africa answers his son's questions, the boy learns that his father's love for him is unconditional. Years ago, I visited Kenya and never left. More accurately, I returned to my home in Wisconsin, but Kenya never left me. It happens to everyone. The sky was so wide and blue that it didn't seem to have a top at all. The silence was so deep I could hear my own heart thunder in my ears. Animals were everywhere. They galloped and swung their heads and slithered across the mara, beautiful and deadly. Sometimes I'd see a Maasai, red-robed, sometimes standing on one leg, often with a rod in his hand. It seemed to me he was the guardian of it all. A Maasai father's greatest treasure is his child. It is his pleasure and duty to raise his son to be strong, brave, and competent, because his boy will be the future guardian of Maasailand. The story of Papa, Do You Love Me?, tells the tender duty of fathers everywhere.
