The book's strength, ironically, is also its greatest weakness. The author plays on every conceivable stereotype of the Maasai people, herding , warding off attacks by wild animals such as hyenas and , warriors leaping in full headgear, a hot climate, and father and son dressed in red robes and sandals. The illustrations heighten these perceptions. The author does mention that this Maasai community lives in the Mara, but fails to note that Maasai life on the Mara is not illustrative of the lifestyle of all the Maasai, or of all the people in Kenya. If the book is intended for a young reader, making this distinction is important. Overall, the book does emphasize love as a basic need.
