About the Book

YAM (Your African Magical ) Stories, is a collection of short stories set in and around the continent of Africa. Curated and composed by Ami Taal, these tales will capture your imagination and take you on an incredible journey across Africa. In Mama's Magical Enkicha, we are taken on a magical trip around the continent as our heroine is transported to different locations through the power and affinity of a mother's love. The Wisdom of Virtue is a fantastic tale of the power of kindness over cruelty, and the importance of forgiveness. Lioness Mountain describes how courage, bravery and intelligence are sometimes better than brute force and strength, while also giving a fictionalized account of the origin of a wonderful west African country! The Perils of Ambition highlights the dangers of getting caught up in chasing a dream and forgetting where you come from. Yamlins is a fabulous tale of exotic, mythical creatures that terrorize a village until the kind nature of one family's patriarch is tested to the limit. The tale's hero battles with his morals and almost crosses the line in order to protect his loved ones and the village. Ultimately, it's a tale that shows that sometimes intentions can be stronger than actions ever could be. The Fox and The Turtle is another classic fairy-tale trope given a new Afrocentric spin. It's a cautionary tale about the dangers of blind desire, and how forgetting to be polite and kind in the quest for success or achieving one's goals could lead to one's demise! This special edition of YAM Stories contains an additional eleven stories based on international fables! Yero and the Butterfly, depicting struggles; The Elephant, The Rope and Faith, belief; Eyes, change; Bandile's Anger, control your anger; The Golden Box Story, opportunity; A Pound of Butter, honesty; An Army of Frogs, encouragement; Outside of the Box, creative thinking; The King and Boulder, love; Puppies are for sale, understanding; and last but not least, Lalibela and the Falcons, Independence. Ami Taal has curated and updated these open copyright classics, reconstructing them from an Afrocentric perspective, adding her own unique take for your reading pleasure. These stories will not only enlighten you morally, but extend the magical journey Ami takes you on!
