As I grew older, I noticed that all children at first take proverbs and idioms to mean exactly what the words say: they haven’t had enough experience to grasp the folk wisdom that the words express. And then I noticed that some adults didn’t understand what idioms and proverbs meant, either! I wondered if perhaps people were slowly losing their connection to expressions that embody hundreds of years of humor and wisdom.
What fun, I thought, if I could write a book featuring a character who took idioms literally and, in doing so, ended up learning their true meanings. That’s how I came up with Waltur, a bear who grapples with the meaning behind sayings. Sometimes Waltur wins, sometimes he loses, but his journey is always humorous.
