"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.

When abuse plays such a strong role in shaping the lives of children and the adults they eventually become, why is it that there are so few books that speak to children at the time of the abuse? Sure, there are analytical books on the topic, and scholarly works, but the real need lies in reaching out to our children at their most vulnerable time: when they're being abused. I think it's not only important, but revolutionary that Tears of Joy touches on that most taboo of subjects: sexual abuse of children. My wife was subjected to the cruelty of molestation as a young girl, and she swears by the fact that if she had had a vehicle by which to relate what she had gone through, she may have escaped the torture far sooner. A child will never tell what they don't know how to explain. How can we expect our children to learn how to explain if we don't give them the proper channel through which to do so. Thank God for this book.

I wanted to read The Joy of Fitness by Ed Gaut, and got this horribly written book. This book does not help in any way. The author talks down to the reader and tries to mimic, as seen in his title, Ed Gaut's book The Joy of Fitness.
