ABOUT THE BOOK

ANG PAMBAHIRANG BUHOK NI LOLA (LOLA'S EXTRAORDINARY HAIR)

For ages 8 to 11 years old, by Rene Villanueva and illustrations by Ibarra Crisostomo.

No library would be complete without books by Rene Villanueva, author of over 50 children's books and a Palanca Hall of Fame awardee. Here he shares a folktale about Lola and her strong, thick hair. Who wouldn't be fascinated to read that "her hair needed one week to dry� every meter was tied with shell necklaces and flowers� her braids were longer than any procession?" Lola also showed her resourcefulness and courage by using her magnificent hair to help during typhoons.
The narrator says that every Filipina heroine inherited her courage from Lola, but even if your child doesn't buy that, you'd still find Lola amazing. Charming in both Filipino and English.
