Publisher Description: Juma and his sister, Sareeya, eat chapati and then sneak into the garden to make these breads by themselves, succeeding despite the antics of a marauding crow. The story introduces food, children's games, and life in a suburb of Dar es Salaam, in the East African country of Tanzania. Juma also provides his recipe for cooking chapati. The story is supplemented with a map of the city of Dar es Salaam, a map of the continent of Africa, and a ki-Swahili language glossary. The Tanzania Juma stories also include _Juma and Little Sungura_, _Juma on Safari_, and _Juma's Dhow Race_. |
