Illustrations by Happy Garaje
Kalipay makes an unusual new friend in Gamay, who has a long tongue, bat-wings, and is a devoted vegetarian. This is a story about the power of friendship, play, and what it means to be different. Kalipay has been beset by school bullies who will not leave her alone until Gamay told them to stop. Other children were afraid of Gamay - her strange tongue, split body and bat wings - but Kalipay is fascinated by the things that make her new friend different. Together, they learn how friendship can overcome differences and create happiness for everyone. Translation in Cebuano by Jona Branzuela Bering, with special thanks to Edgar Godin and Haidee Palapar.
About the Author
Christina Buhain Newhard has been fascinated with books since she was five years old. Born in Manila to a Filipina mother and American father, she moved to the US at the age of 10, but always holds the Philippines in her heart. A love for text, image, and story moved her to pursue a career in graphic design. In asking the question, "how can design strengthen Filipino culture in a meaningful way?", Sari-Sari Storybooks was born.
