Worldy wisdom in a tiny little package

This book is only about the length of your hand (and few pgs), but packed with wisdom, with headings above the wonderful proverbs that mention what part of Africa (or what peoples) the proverb is attributed to. The headings consist of what looks to be a strip of African Mud Cloth, with a really neat primitive font and the name of the region or tribe who is credited for the proverb. I bought it as a gift for my mom and was VERY pleased with it. Most importantly, she was too! Nice price, too for a perfect little gift book.
