This is an informational story about a girl, Linda, who learns about an East African tribe called the Masai in school and is filled with a sense of kinship. As Linda goes through her day, she imagines how her life would be different if she were a Masai. “Masai and I” is a realistic fiction picture book for grades kindergarten through 2nd grade. I liked this book because it gave a very interesting perspective of a little girl comparing two very different cultures. Even though the little girl was comparing almost opposite cultures, connecting her own daily events to what she would be doing instead if she grew up in her African culture made the unfamiliar lifestyle much more relatable. Especially for younger readers, I think that using familiar events would help them connect how cultures can be different, but also the same. For example, the little girl compared making her bed to rolling her cow hide spread, though the beds look different, the chore is similar. I also thought the illustrations were beautiful, and the use of warmer earth colors made me think of what my surroundings would feel like in the Masai tribe. Also, this book would definitely encourage a reader to maybe explore their roots, and make a child feel proud of their heritage. This is a great story that exposes children to a different culture which emphasized the central message of embracing one’s background. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
