    Idioms are phrases that are used to express ideas or emotions in a creative way. They should not be interpreted literally. Imagine you have a magical word game where words have hidden meanings. Idioms are like those special words that have their own hidden meanings. They add color and interest to our language, and can be humorous, surprising, or even nonsensical! When someone uses an idiom, it's like they're using a secret code to communicate their thoughts and feelings with others. It's like solving a puzzle by deciphering the hidden meaning behind the words. Our eBook gives examples of how to explain them to kids and grandkids.
