OverviewImagine living in a country of islands, sprinkled across the ocean like stars in the sky, each with its own unique geography and people. Mary, Jaime, and Ari don't have to imagine it— they live it! Join these three Filipino cousins, who live very different lives but are the best of friends, on an incredible journey across their home—the colorful island nation of the Philippines. From visiting each of their houses and schools to getting to know their families and favorite places, Mary, Jaime, and Ari share a glimpse of their lives to help other kids understand what makes the Philippines such a special place. Full of fun facts and perfect for a family to enjoy together, All About the Philippines covers the conquistadors and traders who came to the islands centuries ago, natural disasters such as earthquakes or typhoons, and so much more.

Booklist A few weeks ago, we were sent a copy of the book All about the Philippines, and it sent my kids and I off on an exploration of this fascinating archipelago. The book itself is a wonderful place to start, since it features stories, songs, crafts, and games for kids. My kids recognized Sungka as the game they know as mancala, and they say we need to make leche flan sometime soon. I think we will also play Piko a Filipino version of the American game of hopscotch as soon as the rain we are thrilled to finally enjoy dies down.
