Books by Filipino Authors for Young Readers
As being descendant of literature lovers, as well as the power of words to reshape the manner we think, I find it difficult to hide my admiration for the literature written by Filipino authors such as Gimo Jr. and the Aswang Clan that are treasures awaiting to be opened. Being in a world like today that representation signifies a lot, the voices - and the personal narratives - of these Filipino authors strike a chord with their young readers, as well. These narratives not only provide windows to the cultures of other people, but they also show mirrors, showing the experiences of the young people.
