The story sheds light on the Massai culture and life on the savanna. Lekuton comes from a family of nomadic cow-herders, and Kenyan law required each family to send one child to school. Lekuton was the chosen child, and school opened up his world. He works to preserve his Maasai heritage while taking advantage of the opportunities that education brings his way. Joseph recounts his childhood as a nomadic Maasai boy who tends the family cows and is interested in education. His education and character allow him to become an individual who can bridge two cultural roles, the Kenyan tribal member and teacher in the United States. Readers will enjoy his detailed descriptions of life in the African Savanna. This book is ok but I did not really like it. It is about a boy who has a lot of problems in his life and he can't seem to get them out of his head so one day he decides to get a small job. He does not like his job but he does not have much a choice. So one day he finds an opening as a bank manager. He ends up getting a ton of money and going to college. One day he became a famous soccer player and now he plays soccer. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
