Joha Makes a Wish
Preview: Hear it

On his way to Baghdad, Joha discovers a wishing stick. But how does it work? Joha makes some wishesand the opposites come true. His old sandals disappear when he wishes for a new pair. He carries a donkey on his back after wishing for a donkey to carry him. When the sultan gets hold of the stick, things really get out of control. Will Joha learn the secrets of the stick before he wishes himself into more trouble? Wonderful illustrations rendered in watercolor by Omar Rayyan add appeal to this original story. An authors note about the history of Joha tales is also included.
