A turkey. A gift. A stone. Seemingly innocent? Not when you are me! My name is Joy. Mum and Dad believe I am adventurous; I think I just like checking out things. My friends say I am playful, and I completely agree with them. After all, a child's life should be full of fun! Don't you think so? Some grown-ups think I am mischievous. Well... how else do I try out my ideas!
Join Joy and her little sister, Peace, in experiencing the fun-filled (and not so fun-filled!) moments of growing up in present-day Africa. Laugh at her humorous pranks, groan with her when she gets into trouble, again, and cheer her on as she gets it right--at last! Page after interesting page, this entertaining as well as educative book for intermediate readers reveals the kind of values and virtues, family life in contemporary Africa is based upon. Written in chapter book format and narrated by Joy, children aged 9years and above will find these collections of short stories to be highly engaging. Children from other continents will easily identify with Joy in all her childhood experiences, though happening in another culture.
