Magic with an African twist

"Juma and the Magic Jinn" combines a story by Joy Anderson with colorful illustrations by Charles Mikolaycak. Together they tell the story of Juma, a Kenyan boy. Juma would rather write poems and draw pictures when his teacher is trying to teach his class sums and scripts. Frustrated by the situation, Juma summons a magical being called a jinn, and asks the jinn for some magical help. Ultimately, he learns an important lesson.This is a beautifully illustrated story with an enjoyable magical theme.
