Title: The Sunshine of Love Shines Ever Bright
Review: An East African father and son travel familiar terrain with readers in this beautifully presented theme of unconditional love. This book is about a Masai father and son who are out herding cattle one day. The young boy, like his Inuit and Hawaiian counterparts of "Mama, Do You Love Me" and "Grandma Calls Me Beautiufl" respectively" asks the same question - will Papa love him regardless of what he does?The fact that this story is set in Africa and the beautiful illustrations draw readers into the world of the characters is incidental to the timeless message of unconditional love. This book, like Joosse's other masterpieces is a global handshake. Readers learn about Masai culture, flora and fauna. The boy in this story wants to know how much and how long his Papa loves him. This book like "Grandma Calls Me Beautiful," includes a glossary of Masai culture. The illustrations are masterpieces and this book is one to share with others. It is truly a classic.
