The Illustrated Book of Sayings by Ella Frances Sanders

The Illustrated Book of Sayings is such a neat little book. It explores both language and the interpretation of each quote and can really brighten your day. Each day I pick it up and read one of the cute and witty quotes that make you really think about the hidden meaning behind some of the things that we say and the illustrations in this book also cute and well done.

Some of my favorite quotes from the book:

"Even monkeys fall from trees"

This quote comes from the Japanese culture and is saying that everyone makes mistakes.

"He's ripping clouds with his nose"

This Serbian quote is saying that someone is stuck up and/or conceited.

"While swimming, drink water"

This quote from Indonesia talks about multitasking and is similar to the American quote "to kill two birds with one stone."

This book is one that I would recommend everyone have on their bookshelf. Definitely a fun and laid back read and you will actually learn some fun facts while reading it!
