| Publisher Description: Every family has proverbs and sayings that are passed down through the generations, and author Miguel Lagunas's family is no exception. In Como dec a mi t a Graciana, Lagunas shares proverbs from a Mexican family matriarch, illustrating the secret to happiness, how to live harmoniously with others, and respect for others. Although Graciana was not a real person, her sayings, advice, and proverbs have been passed down through many generations and have become daily sayings in many Spanish-speaking households. Como dec a mi t a Graciana is translated in both English and Spanish so that you can enjoy these proverbs in both languages. In Como dec a mi t a Graciana, you will read such proverbs as - A la feria muchos van, pero a ver y no a comprar (Many go to the fair, but to look and not to shop); - A la fruta dura, el tiempo madura (Time ripens hard fruit; time matures immaturity); and - A la hija muda, su madre la entiende (A quiet daughter is understood by her mother). |
