TalesofJouha


By: Hanna Shammas • Illustrations: Dima Abi l’haj

Who doesn’t know Jouha, the famous character whose stories have entertained children and adults for centuries? The book has three humorous traditional stories.

Age Group: The orchard

Dear Parents,

Who does not know Jouha? He has always been a major character to talk about in evening story time, and the subject of good and funny stories for children, who try to memorize his escapades.

In general, only by the age of six, can children understand his tales, when they begin to differentiate between imagination and reality. They can understand the logic of what is happening around them and internalize socially accepted behaviors. So, people laugh when Jouha breaks the logic we know and accept, just as No’aman laughed about Jouha when he made the cloud a sign locating his treasure.

Children like satiric literature, it makes them laugh, encourages them to imagine and think and to criticize unaccepted behaviors. Children not only love to tell Jouha tales, but also to make up their own jokes.
