35 Kuwentong Klasiko by Virgilio S. Almario (Rio Alma)

Tagalog only children's book 2016 winner national book awards NBDB* MCC ang aklat na ito ay handog ng Adarna house sa lahat ng aming mambabasa sa nakaraang 35 taon in 1980, Virgilio S. Almario opened the doors of Adarna house, the first dedicated children's book publisher in the country. At a time when you could count on the fingers of one hand the number of children's books in bookstores, and American-made programs and images dominated children's media, Adarna house established a new kind of imaginary space -- a literary playground where Filipino readers could read about children who reasoned in Filipino and English, and who were brave, smart, strong, inventive, altruistic, and industrious. like the magical rid that is its namesake, it aspired to heal ignorance through stories that animated young minds, and more importantly, mirrored their reality. Adarna books were among the fist that allowed us to see through the eyes of children just like us, who had brown skin and black hari and one foot at home and one foot in the greater world. they told stories that brought young Filipinos together in a shared experience of citizenship and childhood, whose spirits understood the same verbal and visual languages in spite of different backgrounds. 35 kuwentong klasiko offers 35 of the most imaginative, lyrical, and humorous pictures books from the library of Adarna house. for 35 years, the Adarna bird has led us to many different story-worlds--some strange, some familiar, and others strangely familiar....... anna Katrina Gutierrez, PhD - Quezon city, April 2015
