Philippine National Children's Book Day


July 20 is the 27th Philippine National Children's Book Day. YAY!!! Above is this year's Children's Book Day poster. Isn't it great? =D The English translation for the text on the poster is "Who Reads [Books], Wins!" (or "Readers are always winners!").

Thank you, Philippine Board on Books for Young People (PBBY), for the poster!

    I am waiting for the list of activities for Children's Book Day. This is the first year I can actually participate in anything because this year I am a full-time grad student. Work got in the way all the other years.

    Your blog has a very strong identity, which is impressive. More power to it, and to more YA books set in Asia!

    But what is the Grand Metanarrative?

    Me believing in the Grand Metanarrative means that I believe in THE Story - the Christian story. :o)
