My First Book of Proverbs / Mi primer libro de dichos
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.”
