Imagine living in a country of islands, sprinkled across the ocean like stars in the sky, each with its own unique geography and people. Mary, Jaime, and Ari don't have to imagine it— they live it! Join these three Filipino cousins, who live very different lives but are the best of friends, on an incredible journey across their home—the colorful island nation of the Philippines. From visiting each of their houses and schools to getting to know their families and favorite places, Mary, Jaime, and Ari share a glimpse of their lives to help other kids understand what makes the Philippines such a special place. Full of fun facts and perfect for a family to enjoy together, All About the Philippines covers the conquistadors and traders who came to the islands centuries ago, natural disasters such as earthquakes or typhoons, and so much more.

Reviews for All About the Philippines: Stories Songs Crafts and Games for Kids

The large format and attractive, cartoonlike illustrations provide an inviting look at a country not often included in many other resources for children. --Kirkus This latest offering in Tuttle's All About... series is the strongest yet and much needed. --School Library Journal Full-color watercolor illustrations by Dandan-Albano are a perfect complement to the text, brimming with recognizable details and the ebullient colors and liveliness that are hallmarks of Filipino culture. Plenty of hands-on art projects, recipes (all of which will require adult supervision), and activities make this book a truly interactive lesson in geography. --Booklist
