African Proverbs: Volume II - Central African Proverbs

Compiled and Edited By Cherie Jemberie (PE)

Published by Voices of Courage Books

Wisdom from the Heart of Africa

Deep in the forests, rivers, and villages of Central Africa, wisdom flows as richly as the Congo River. Proverbs are more than sayings here - they are living lessons taught by elders, hunters, mothers, and storytellers.

In African Proverbs: Volume II - Central African Proverbs, Cherie Jemberie brings together timeless proverbs from Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and São Tomé & Príncipe.

Each proverb comes alive with:

Figurative meaning-the symbolism behind the words.

Practical life lesson - guidance for today's challenges.

Illustration and caption - a visual journey into African storytelling.

Glossary-key cultural terms explained (Baobab, Ancestor Spirits, Palm Wine, Leopard, etc.).
