Locked inside their cages, the zoo animals have given up hope; they can no longer hear the songs of their homelands. Then one night, the spirit of the Maasai Man appears. As he hums his haunting songs, a miracle takes place. By subtly examining the timeless ideal of love, hope and freedom, this book provokes discussion and a sense of optimism.
