National Children's Book Day

i read a post that today July 17, 2012 is the 29th celebration of National Children's Book Day. This is celebrated the 3rd Tuesday of July and honors the publication by Dr. Jose Rizal of the Filipino folktale, "The Monkey and the Turtle". i wasn't able to get a copy of the said story but i made do with a publication of another local writer. Skid and I read Biag ni Lam-ang and The Golden Guava. he loved the colorful pictures and was pointing to the drawing of trees, houses, etc.

i hope i can instill in my son a love for Filipino literature. there are a couple of good writers worth reading and i want to expose him at an early age. i look forward to sharing a laugh with him while reading my Bob-Ong books hehehe
