A proverb is an often-used saying that expresses a truth.  Kids used to be familiar with proverbs, as well as idioms, but nowadays it seems that kids don’t talk or listen to adults and they are not familiar with sayings.  It’s all new to them.  This book teaches students some basic facts about life, such as treating one another with kindness, doing a job well, using time well, taking care of yourself, just common sense stuff that they need to hear.
