The kids enjoyed trying to interpret the aphorisms without reading the meanings supplied by the text. Vibrant art!
We were slightly disappointed none were from Ethiopia though.

Okay. I love the art here, and the little pieces of life advice are good. The book itself is gorgeous. However, some of the aphorisms are attributed to particular African people or countries, when, really, they are mostly just generalities like “Unity is strength”. Also the author is not African, which is fine, except that he says in his intro “We are all African” because Africa is where humanity started. It just didn‘t sit right.
