Rules of the Road: The Tonga Proverbs
By Dr. Steady Moono and Monica Lord
()
About this ebook
Dr. Steady Moonos life has taken him away from his native Zambia, and he worries that his children will never know Africa in a real and intimate way. When he relates stories of sharing a fire with elders, who in turn shared their wisdom and guidance, he tries to keep his childrens imaginations from failing them. They did not have the experience of growing up surrounded by the many beautiful traditions and rituals of life in the savannah plains of southern Zambia, as he did.
With this in mind, Dr. Moono gathered some of the most beloved proverbs of his childhood to help inspire those young minds. Paired with illustrations by Monica Lord, these traditional Zambian lessons are available to a new generation. These sayings represent universal truths that can make all the difference in ones life. Simple yet profound, within them hides great wisdom, warmth, and humor.
If you feel as if you are lost in the wilderness of life, the wisdom here may help guide you to peace and safety.

He earned his bachelor’s degree from Messiah College. Dr. Moono and his wife, Kelly, have two children, Micah Sibajene and Naomi Sipiwe Moono.
