Goha the Wise Fool Hardcover - 2005
by Retold by Denys Johnson-Davies; Hag Hamdy (Illustrator); Mohamed Fattouh (Illustrator)
Summary
Meet Goha, that funny little man with the faithful donkey, whose tales, beloved for their wit and wisdom, have been passed down through the streets of the smallest villages of the Middle East for centuries. Meet Goha, who in making us laugh at him, shows us—young and old everywhere— that we can laugh at ourselves.
Collected by one of the Middle East’s most prestigious translators and illustrated in whimsical handsewn khimeyas, this is a joyful celebration of the best of Goha, one of folklore’s most unexpected and beloved heroes.

Media reviews
"The stories contain interesting cultural insights about a part of the world unknown to many in the Western Hemisphere, while yielding universal truths. Although there is a variety of curricular possibilities, children would undoubtedly enjoy comparing this folk hero to his cousins Jack, Anansi, Coyote, or Brer Rabbit. And as a guidebook to survival strategies for challenging situations, there is none better." -School Library Journal, starred review
"In this spirited collaboration, a Middle Eastern trickster-fool is strikingly presented to American children. [E]ach scene exudes a comical energy… that will instantly put kids in a giggling mood." —Booklist, starred review
