What is Wise Words about?

Eighteen imaginative bedtime stories bring the wisdom of the biblical Book of Proverbs to life. In these playful fairy tales, children may meet a servant wearing magic shoes, a girl who encounters a talking rabbit, fairies hiding inside walnuts and many other surprising characters. Each story explores a different lesson about kindness, wisdom, honesty, diligence or foolishness, often with a humorous twist. Written for family reading, the tales offer entertaining adventures for children while giving grown-ups thoughtful ideas to discuss together.
