Many Ideas Open the Way edited and photographed by Randy Snook

The books we publish may not be meant for the mass market , but they sure are beautiful and welcome to some. Our hope is that children of these cultures will appreciate finding a book in the library that they can relate to, while those not familiar with the culture may learn something new.

Many Ideas Open the Way is a bilingual book of proverbs from the Hmong culture that features amazing photographic illustrations by Randy Snook. Here is the photo and text from page 6:

Whether you eat or not, at least hold a spoon;
whether you laugh or not, at least smile.
Noj tsis noj kuj tuav diav. Luag tsis luag kuj ntxi hniav.
