Eggs and Chickens

A pair of egg-related proverbs are illustrated and translated into indigenous Ethiopian languages as we discover what sometimes happens if you put all your eggs in one basket or count them before they hatch. The easy to understand pictures support the text and provoke conversations about patience, waiting and being careful. Side by side text in English and Amharic supports emerging young bilingual readers and charming illustrations capture young attentions. Clear illustrations help develop vocabulary terms and word recognition. Part of the Ready, Set, Go! series of early readers by Open Hearts Big Dreams, a nonprofit devoted to increasing literacy in indigenous Ethiopian languages.
