"Fire is a good servant but a bad master! This colorful nonfiction book--with scenes showing life in rural Ethiopia--is based on an Ethiopian proverb for practice in reading in Tigrinya and English. Ready Set Go Books, an Open Hearts Big Dreams Project (http://openheartsbigdreams.org/book-project/), is focused on increasing the literacy rate in Ethiopia through giving readers books with stories in their heart languages, full of colorful illustrations with Ethiopian settings and details."--Amazon
