African Proverbs: Volume IV-West Africa

Published by Voices of Courage Books

Discover the Timeless Wisdom of Africa's Elders

In African Proverbs: Volume IV- West Africa, Cherie Jemberie gathers authentic proverbs from across the deserts, savannas, mountains, and coasts of Africa's Wstern regions, bringing them to life with figurative meanings, moral lessons, and vivid illustrations.

This book is more than a collection of words-it is a journey into Africa's heart of wisdom, culture, and tradition.
