Juha and the Genie Faoushan (جحا ومارد الإبريق فوشان) is a chapter book  that offers a fresh take on Juha’s classic tales, blending humor, adventure, and cultural heritage. The story follows Juha, a man unimpressed by modern life, who meets Faoushan, a teapot genie eager to explore the modern world after centuries in confinement. Their encounters take them on unexpected journeys across different times and places, weaving humor with reflections on tradition, modernity, and social values. The funny and colorful illustrations add a distinctive artistic touch to the book, with bold, expressive characters, a playful contrast between past and present, and an extra layer of humor and delightful details.
