Genie in My Pocket began years ago as a project in a design class in which students were to create a book jacket cover. One day when I was de-cluttering I found the original art work. I decided to create a story to go with the book jacket. I wanted the character to create his own magic, as well as the fantastic fortune of finding a Genie. Genies may have magical powers, but so do children who have a purpose. They can be a force for positive change in their neighborhoods, as you will discover in reading the story.
