Once inspired by the various proverbs around the Nile river, he started collecting the sayings in Ethiopia on a variety of subjects.

Bayu Kidane, President of “Haddis Nigat “, a Toronto based arts forum, said the book can be a  resource  base for the generation to come.
Some in the audience suggested such collections need to be  wary of not perpetuating the existing societal stereotypes including that of gender.
Members of the arts forum presented various art works after the book signing.

The proverbs collection was printed by the Ethiopian owned Tana printing in Toronto.
