It's Fun to Be Me!

Ang aming aklat, “Masaya Ang Maging Ako”, ay mayroon ng edisyon sa English — “It’s Fun to Be Me!” Maraming salamat sa Room to Read at sa Lampara Books Lampara House sa pagdami ng mga bersyon ng aklat upang mas marami pang bata ang makapagbasa at mabigyang saya nito. Noong nakaraang taon, na-translate naman sa Hindi ang aming aklat. Kamakailan naman, ang Braille edition ay nai-launch sa Quezon City Public Library sa pakikipag-partner nila sa National Library of the Philippines.

Para sa iyo ito, Tere, at sa mga batang may likas na katangiang kakaiba, katawatawa at kagulatgulat. Hindi man kayo maintindihan ng karamihan, may mga aklat na magpapaalala na ang pagiging ikaw ay sapat at kahanga-hanga.

Ang “It’s Fun to Be Me!” ay alay namin sa lahat ng batang nangangarap na tanggapin ang kanilang sarili at makita ang ganda ng kanilang kakaibahan. Salamat sa patuloy na pagtangkilik at suporta sa mga kuwentong tulad nito. Sana’y patuloy nating maiparamdam sa mga bata na ang bawat isa sa kanila ay mahalaga, natatangi, at karapat-dapat mahalin — higit sa lahat, ng sarili nila.

Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat na naging bahagi ng paglalakbay na ito.

* Ang edisyong ito ay hindi for sale. Ang Room to Read India Trust ay ang ahensyang magdo-donate ng kopya sa mga lugar na bibihira na makarating ang ganitong uri ng mga aklat sa mga batang mambabasa.

Heartfelt thanks to Room to Read and Lampara Books Lampara House for creating more versions of this book so it can bring joy to even more children. Last year, our book was translated into Hindi. Recently, the Braille edition was launched at the Quezon City Public Library in partnership with the National Library of the Philippines.

Thank you for your continued support and belief in stories like this. May we continue to remind children that each of them is valuable, special, and worthy of love — most importantly, self-love.
