Have you ever wondered how someone can be “in a pickle” when pickles are so small, or why mothers say you’re “on thin ice” even when you’re indoors? Are you perplexed that your father “brings home the bacon” but is a strict vegetarian? Will Moses has the answers, and sheds light not only on these idioms but dozens more with Raining Cats and Dogs.

Using his trademark folk-art style, Moses infuses a sense of mischief and humor into these often puzzling phrases, educating readers while entertaining them.

Will Moses is a folk artist and the great-grandson of the famous primitive painter Grandma Moses. Developing his own folk style, he has become an internationally beloved artist in his own right with his work displayed in collections throughout the world, including at the White House. Will has illustrated 10 books, including The Night Before Christmas. He and his wife, Sharon, founded the Mount Nebo Gallery and Farm in Eagle Bridge, New York, where they live with their three children.
