{"product_id":"african-proverbs-for-all-ages","title":"African Proverbs for All Ages","description":"African Proverbs for All Ages is a beautifully-illustrated, engaging picture book about the power of proverbs, how they evolve over time, and the wisdom of various cultures in Africa.\nIt has been said that a proverb is a short sentence based on long experience.\n\nWhether you are young or old, proverbs can open your mind to a whole new way of seeing the world. We underestimate children when we assume they are incapable of understanding metaphor and deeper meaning. There are multiple ways that children learn, but for each method by which they learn, they need their imagination engaged and their visual sensibilities ignited. And as adults, we underestimate ourselves when we allow our lives to be about practical matters only. Proverbs can stir our soul and spark our imagination. --Johnnetta Betsch Cole, Ph.D. President Emerita of Spelman and Bennett Colleges\n\nIn African Proverbs for All Ages, noted anthropologist and educator Dr. Johnetta Betsch Cole and award-winning illustrator Nelda LaTeef invite children and adults to explore and reflect on complex notions about relationships, identity, society, and the human condition.\n\nA Roaring Brook Press and Oprah Book\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250756065\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.1250756065.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Cole, Johnnetta Betsch|LaTeef, Nelda\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
