She wonders why she looks different from the rest of her family. Her mother answers her questions with soothing words. Then she goes on a magical journey in the night sky with a shooting star.

The book emphasises the critical role of parents in building the confidence of their children and helping them counter the feeling of inferiority. This perfectly illustrated book is suitable for children aged 4-10.

Negative emotions in children are not so hard to counter. It mostly involves coming up with the right approach.

Yejide Kilanko shares one approach in Juba and the Fireball. Yejide tells the story of a young boy, Juba, whose anger begins as a spark in his stomach and grows into a fireball.

The book highlights the importance of effective communication between parents and children. It is also important to note how Juba responded to his parents’ attempt to help him control his anger.

Here is a lovely quote from the book that will stay with you and encourage change: “When people give us the gift of their forgiveness, we honor it with changed behavior.”
