My Burkina boy

He likes to wear his dolls and stuffed animals wrapped on his back. He straddles the djembé and pounds out beats. He dances and shakes his little bum with African flair whether there is music playing or not. He encompasses so many aspects of his people and culture. He is Burkinabé thru and thru. No amount of living with us will ever change that, I pray.

I pray that no matter where we go in this great big world, or how American he becomes, that he will always feel a deep connection to his homeland....that he will always be my little Burkina boy, proud of who he is and where he came from.
