In this popular bedtime tale, a young Masai boy asks his father how much the father loves him. The resulting dialog, meant to reassure the boy that a father's love is unconditional, is what the story is all about. While herding cattle, a boy tests his father's affection with a question game that fans of Mama will recognize: "Papa, do you love me? . . . How much? . . . How long?" Each time, Papa answers with reassuring words that reference Masai life: "I love you more than the warrior loves to leap."

As a companion or sequel to the highly acclaimed and popular ?Mama Do You Love Me? this tender story of a father?s everlasting love is set in the picturesque terrains of Africa. Unlike Mama in which the child kept asking her mother if she would love her even if she was very naughty, this children?s tale stays away from deliberate mischief!

The son's questions prompt the father to explain how he would help teach his son how to find water or protect him from the dangers of the Serengeti Plain. The father in this story says the actual words "I love you" far less than the mother in "Mama Do You Love Me," but he shows his love for his son through his actions.

The beauty of this evergreen classic collection is in its vivid, stylized images. The father?s red robe sweeps across the pages, wrapping his son in its protective embrace. Children will love the brilliant reds and sunlit golds of the pictures. A parent can teach his child to spot the various animals in the story.
