نَشَأَ كُلِّ واحِدٍ مِنَّا مَع جَدَّةٍ أَو عَمَّةٍ أَو خالَةٍ أَو أَمٍ لا يَمُرُّ حَدَث أَو مُناسَبَةٍ، أَو تُتاحُ لَها الفُرصَةُ إِلا وتُطْلِقُ اَلتَعبيراتُ الّتي تُسَمَّى أَمثالاً. يُكَرِّمُ هَذا الكِتابُ مَجموعَةً مُختارَةً مِن آلافِ الأَمثالِ المَوجودَةِ في مَوروثاتِنا الشَّعبِيَّةِ، بِهَدَفِ تَعريفِ الأَطفالِ عَلَى جُزءٍ جَميلٍ مِن ثَقافَتِنا العَرَبِيَّةِ، والحِفاظُ عَلَيها لِلأَجيالِ القادِمَةِ.

جَميعُ الأَمثالِ الوَارِدَةِ في هَذا الكِتابِ هِيَ مَزيجٌ مُتَناغِمٍ مِن العالَمِ العَرَبِيِّ، سَنَجِدُ أَمثالاً مِن فِلَسطين وأُخرى مِنَ الأُردُنِّ وغَيرِها مِن لُبنَان وسوريا ومِصر، جَميعُهَا مَكتوبَةٌ بِاللَّهجَةِ المَحكِيَّةِ حَتى لا تَفقِدَ سِحرَها ومُرونَتِها وجَمالِ مَعانيها، ومَشروحَةٌ بِالفُصحَى المُبَسَّطَةِ حَتى يَتَرَسَّخَ المَعنَى المَقصودِ مِنها لَدَى الطِّفلِ، ومُساعَدَتَهُ عَلَى فَهمِها وفي أَيِّ المَواقِفِ يُمكِنُ استِخدامُها

We all grew up with a grandmother, a mother, an aunt, an uncle or a sister who could effortlessly share a mathal (proverb) at any moment! These sayings are not only practical (and often hilarious) but they also represent a vital part of our culture and identity as Arabs. In an effort to preserve them and pass them on to future generations, we’ve gathered some of our favorites - 101 of them - into a beautiful coffee table book that you can gift, share, or cherish for yourself.

The book features a beautiful hardcover, vibrant, eye-catching pages, and a beautiful ribbon to mark your favorite page, keep track of where you left off, or remind you to share a mathal with someone who perfectly fits one!
