MUTA BY MARGARET NJERI MUNGAI

GENRE: CHILDREN'S LITERATURE
TITLE: MUTA
WRITER: MARGARET NJERI MUNGAI, KENYA
REVIEWER: HALIEO MOTANYANE, LESOTHO

The story of Muta is an inspirational fiction. Muta is just an ordinary child with lots of likes and challenges like the child in the neighbourhood. To start with, children are the most victorious beings in the world. A child has a freedom to live in a world of imagination and because of their elders, they somehow always have a feel of victory at the end. Even in this story of Muta, through his parents and teachers, Muta achieves victory over everything. The story teaches us that victory is not measured by how big the challenge was, rather even a challenge that one comes across on their daily basis and overcomes it, such challenge brings victory. We live with victory every day.
