About
the Book
On his way to Baghdad, Joha discovers a wishing
stick. But how does it work? Joha makes some wishes—and 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
author’s note about the history of Joha tales is also
included.
