Owen F. ★★★★★

My kid now says magandang umaga at breakfast thanks to this book, which was not something I expected from a picture book. The day-in-the-life structure follows one family from morning to night, so it reads more like a story than a geography lesson.

Miles ★★★★★

The illustrations made the market scenes feel like I was walking through them myself. My kids keep asking to read it again before bed.

Jason ★★★★★

Bought this for my niece before our trip to Manila and the photos of jeepneys and rice terraces got her asking questions the whole flight. It reads more like a poem than a guidebook, which is exactly what I wanted for a six-year-old.
