About the Book

National Parenting Publications Award, NAPPA Recommended Book List, MultiCultural Review This bilingual book is the perfect introduction for young children to well-loved proverbs in English and Spanish. In this playful collection of popular Mexican dichos, or proverbs, artists Ralfka Gonzalez and Ana Ruiz bring to life their most favorite sayings--recorded in their travels throughout Mexico and the United States. Filled with wisdom and optimism, these dichos are a joyous celebration of life and culture; reminding us to pig out while you have the chance; that after the rain comes the sun; and to sing every day and chase the mean blues away. Ralfka and Ana's exuberant illustrations vividly capture the mood and essence of each dicho. With stunning color and folk art flavor, their paintings draw us into a whimsical world where bumble bees play bongo drums and roosters sing all day. Sandra Cisneros provided the introduction to this joyous collection.

Review :
Brilliantly hued, precariously naif paintings--somewhere between a Southwestern sensibility and the look of urban graffiti--illustrate this roundup of 27 Mexican American dichos. -- Publishers Weekly A playful collection of popular Mexican dichos with exuberantly beautiful art. -- Young Children One might describe this book with the dicho, 'Chiquito pero picoso.' Small, but very hot. -- Children's Book Review San Francisco artists Ralfka Gonzalez and Ana Ruiz have a great deal of fun with the proverbs in this collection, which includes an introduction by Sandra Cisneros. This book comes from Children's Book Press in San Francisco, a pioneering publisher of multiethnic storybooks, and it's a wonderful example of how bilingual publishing enriches everyone. -- San Jose Mercury New National Parenting Publications Award, NAPPA Recommended Book List, MultiCultural Review
