Na-launch na rin ang Masaya Maging Ako, ang aming aklat pambata ni Jamie Bauza. Ito ay binuo, nilikha at ginawang espesyal na handog para sa mga bata na walang aklatan at salat sa babasahing akma sa kanilang kultura at konteksto. Kasama namin sa proseso ng paglikha ng aklat ang mga bumubuo sa komunidad ng Panitikang Pambata ng Pilipinas. Mula sa Ang Illustrador ng Kabataan, kasama ang apat na publishers ng mga aklat pambata, Adarna House, Lampara Books, Hiyas-OMF at Anvil Publishing hangang sa staff ng Room to Read, nagsanib puwersa ang lahat upang makapaglimbag ng 20 aklat sa ilalim ng Kuwentong Musmos Book Project ng Room to Read. Ang paglulunsad ay ginanap sa Museo Pambata noong Huwebes, February 27, 2020.
Congratulations sa lahat!
It was a joyous occasion to witness the culmination of four months of hard work and genuine camaraderie among Filipino authors, illustrators, publishers, Adarna House staff and Room to Read. Kudos to Sir Al Santos of Room to Read for leading the project, to Liza Flores and Robert Alejandro for the mentorship, to my publisher, Jun Matias of Lampara Books. I appreciated working with Team Lampara in Bohol and with Jamie and Aiko over chat and phone call from Baguio. We have created and published a book, but there is a community who helped make it a dream come true!
How true is the quote I heard from a friend in PBBY, ”a book is a dream, dreamed by a team”. To have experienced this dream making and team building is something I will be grateful for the rest of my life.
Masaya Maging Ako! Masaya Maging Tayo!
