Older kids: Read Facing the Lion: Growing Up Maasai on the African Savanna. It’s not great literature, but gives a realistic picture of how life was like as a young boy in this area of Africa. There is a chapter where the author describes going through the ritual of circumcision, so I suggest that parents pre-read the book before giving to their children to read.
