Papa, Do you love me? Is a story about a young child who questions his father on whether or not he loves him or not. Tenderheart, as the boy’s father calls him, questions his father on how much and how far his father loves him. He asks his father if he would love him even if he was a herd watcher
I think this book is a great way to let children know that even though they make mistakes and their parents might get angry with them that their parents still love them and do not love them any less. I really like this book because it explains a good concept in a way that kids will be able to understand and the scenarios given in the book seem far worse than anything a young child could do.
One classroom extension I would use from this would be for the students to write how they feel when their parents get angry with them. I would use the story to teach about the history of earlier cultures and the meanings of watching the herd and how important it was to the cultures.

A father in Africa answers all his son's questions about everything and in turn the boy learns that his father's love is unconditional.
I like this book because of the different culture that it depicts and how it does that. I would use it in my teaching to show my students a different culture.

Lovely. The theme is universal, but the details make this special. The prose is graceful, and the illustrations vibrant and engaging. Don't save it just for Father's Day, or for Social Studies class.
