I’m a first time author. I have passion in reading and writing.
My writing journey started when I was 8years old when my dad introduced me to reading and writing a report on the book I had read.
I learnt about MABB through my mother who saw an advert via whatsapp.
I was enrolled in the program which I appreciated.
Thanks Jackie for believing in me and the encouragement I got from you.

The title of my book is ‘A Shy Boy’s Big Idea’
The idea came to my mind on values like forgiveness wisdom, mercy and justice.
It is about the power of mercy and the importance of
learning mistakes.
The book is meant to inspire young children to value courage, wisdom and unity.
Juma was a shy young boy who was courageous enough to face Chief Amani to solve a problem.
Juma rose from being a shy boy to a respectable problem solver.
In deed small voices can bring change.
