A hands-on introduction to Filipino life and culture

Mary, Jaime, and Ari—three cousins from different backgrounds—provide a way into a broad introduction to the Philippines. Their experiences connect everyday settings such as homes and schools with the country’s varied communities, languages, traditions, and beliefs. The book combines cultural and historical topics with practical activities: children encounter festivals and foods, try recipes, learn games, and make a sipa or parol. Natural events such as earthquakes and typhoons also appear alongside the islands’ geography. This mix of people, place, and participation gives the book several entry points for exploring the Philippines, whether a child is more interested in crafts, daily life, or history.

  • Children around ages 9–12 exploring the Philippines and Filipino culture
  • Families or classrooms seeking shared activities, including crafts, games, and recipes
