Small, but very hot."

"A playful collection of popular Mexican dichos with exuberantly
beautiful art."

"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 News
"Brilliantly hued, precariously naif paintingssomewhere between
