About this book

Español

My First Book of Proverbs / Mi primer libro de dichos

Una alegre introducción bilingüe a los queridos dichos mexicanos, en español e inglés. Los artistas Ralfka Gonzalez y Ana Ruiz reunieron sus refranes favoritos durante sus viajes por México y Estados Unidos, y aquí les dan vida con exuberantes pinturas de arte popular llenas de color. Repletos de sabiduría y optimismo, estos dichos nos recuerdan que "después de la lluvia sale el sol" y que hay que "cantar todos los días para espantar las penas". Abejorros que tocan bongós y gallos que cantan sin parar habitan esta celebración de la vida y la cultura, con introducción de Sandra Cisneros.

English

My First Book of Proverbs

A joyful bilingual introduction to beloved Mexican dichos, or proverbs, in English and Spanish. Artists Ralfka Gonzalez and Ana Ruiz gathered their favorite sayings while traveling through Mexico and the United States, and here they bring each one to life with exuberant folk-art paintings in stunning color. Filled with wisdom and optimism, these dichos remind us that "after the rain comes the sun" and to "sing every day and chase the mean blues away." Bumblebees play bongo drums and roosters sing all day in this whimsical celebration of life and culture, introduced by Sandra Cisneros.
