A pendant and companion to this duo's beloved Mama, Do You Love Me?
(1991). While the gorgeous and glowing colors of the Maasai in
Africa are very different from the Alaskan setting of the first
book, the universality and beautiful emotional rhythms of the story
remain the same. A boy asks his father the question of the title,
and his father replies, "You came from your mama, whom I love, your
grandpapas and grandmamas, whom I honor . . . You are my Tender
Heart, and I love you." The boy asks, how long, and what would you
do if it were hot, and what if I was afraid, and the father
responds each time in deep rumbling tenderness: He will love his
boy as long as "the Serengeti rolls to the sky," he would stretch
out his blanket for shade, he would hold his son. The pictures are
rich in tone and hue, expressive line and expansive gesture:
Repeated motifs of textile and bead patterns, wild animal groups
and a splendid curvilinear tree echo and support the text. Sure to
be another bestseller. (glossary) (Picture book. 3-8) (Kirkus
Reviews)
This follow-up to the best-selling "Mama, Do You Love Me?" (over
one million copies sold in 15 languages ) captures the universal
love between a father and child. Set in Africa and featuring the
Maasai culture, the beautiful watercolor illustrations, lyrical
text, and enduring message are sure to make this another instant
classic.
