* Naku, Nakuu, Nakuuu! written by Nanoy Rafael and illustrated by Sergio Bumatay III (Adarna House, 2008) will be published in translation next year by the Swedish publishing house Trasten. Woot woot! Philippines in the heart, world on the mind! Thanks to Chen of Trasten publishing house for this great news. =D * I've guest blogged at Zoe Toft's Playing by the book . I sang the praises of three Asian fantasies for kids and teens and Zoe suggested songs and activities to go with the books! =D
