Ina gumawa ng libro para ituro ang wika sa anak at ipakilala ang kulturang Pilipino

Filipino Food ABC author Vercess Caina

This mother remains committed to celebrating her culture through the power of children's literature.

Ang pagsisikap ng isang ina na mapanatili ang pamanang Pilipino ay humantong sa paglikha ng isang makulay at nakakaengganyong libro.


KEY POINTS
  • Priyoridad ng maraming pamilya na naninirahan sa ibang bansa ang pagpapanatili sa kulturang Pilipino.
  • Dahil sa kakulangan ng mapagkukunang kaalaman upang ituro ang wika sa mga anak, naisip niyang gumawa ng libro para sa mga anak.
  • Layunin ng librong ina pagyamanin ang pagmamalaki at pagiging kabilang sa mga batang Pilipino at kanilang pamilya.
“Throughout the years, I bought Filipino-English kids’ books so they can learn but I noticed that most of the language used were very traditional. I wanted them to learn something that’s easy to learn, using everyday language," paliwanag ni Vercess Caina.

Ms Caina shares that the Filipino Food ABC is born out of a desire to introduce her Filipino-Taiwanese children to their heritage in a fun and engaging way.
“I just gave it a go. I took children’s book writing classes, joined children’s book writing groups and mentorship. I wrote the book, received feedback and reviews from my peers, got in touch with an illustrator and dived into self-publishing," wika ni Vercess Caina.
