An interesting tale of how a nomadic Maasai boy from Kenya grows up to go to a university in America and ends up being a teacher there. I've learned a lot about Maasai culture. In fact, I have read other Maasai related memoirs but did not learn as much. The beautiful thing is, Joseph is a truly global citizen. He is at easy teaching in a school in Virginia, then going home in the summer, dons his traditional clothes and herd cows with his brothers. As told by the soccer game episode, he certainly has drive; but more importantly, he never loses his heart.

As the book is written for children, the language is simplistic, and leaves me wanting more details.

Leaving at book buffet table.

Caught at the bookcrossing convention.
I began reading it yesterday. I like it so far. It describes a culture very diffrent from the one I grew up, and still live in.

I finished this book at the train on my way home from the convention.
A really fascinating life story.
