Robin is excited to visit Kenya, the country she’s dreamed about for a very long time. She longs to see the animals and the people there, and can’t wait for adventure. But when she does arrive, she finds things are a little different than she expected.
Unlike at home, children have to work hard to make sure the family can eat and drink. Carrying wood and water on their backs, they help Mama to prepare a meal. Houses are tiny and constructed of mud and sticks, and the meals they eat are so much simpler.
Robin had such a good time on her trip to visit the Maasai people that she later went back for good. She is now the Kenya Program Director with Free The Children. This organization is a network allowing children to help other children in need.
My Maasai Life is the children’s version of Robin’s story. She has also published a full-length version My Maasai Life

** Closed to new requests until September 30th, 2012. **
Genres: Positive fiction and non-fiction only. At this time, I’m mostly interested in Christian books, although I will review anything with a positive message. I’m also interested in motivational and inspirational audio programs. Educational tools for children and Christian-themed products may be considered.
Once we have agreed to review your book, we will provide a mailing address. We only review print books. No e-books or electronic copies of any kind will be considered.
If you are requesting a review in advance of publication, please indicate the date we can expect to receive your book.
Due to the large volume of requests we receive, we may not be able to fit your book into our schedule. We are only two people, so if we do accept your book, please anticipate at least a four month wait for your review to be posted–we follow a “first-in, first-out” schedule. We have day jobs, too, and this is a free service we offer to authors.
Acceptance of your book does not guarantee a review. At this time, we are accepting self-published works on a very limited basis.
For a complete listing of all books reviewed, please see the Catalog. All books featured on this site have been provided free of charge to the reviewer.
