What does it mean to put down roots?

Why would you be under the weather?

Idioms can be confusing, but they help you to understand English and are a lot of fun to learn!

With clever multicultural illustrations, literal translations of the idioms, meanings in 2 languages, and English example sentences, Fresh as a Daisy explains common nature idioms in a way that makes them easy to understand. It's a perfect book to teach culturally and linguistically diverse students.
