Real moments, turned into stories.
Basketball & Pizza
A Story About Big Dreams, Family, and the Best Nights Ever
Somewhere between the Harlem Globetrotters and a pizza night, a boy found his obsession. It started with bouncing balls and big sounds — the rhythm of a dribble, the spectacle of a trick shot, the word slam dunk in a two-year-old's mouth. It grew into jerseys and chalk courts and a phrase he kept correcting his dad on: not pizza and basketball. Basketball and pizza. In that order. Always.
Basketball & Pizza is a picture book about a child who experiences the world through ritual, rhythm, and obsession — and a father who showed up for all of it. No lessons. No conflict neatly resolved. Just real moments, a chalk court, and pizza at the finish line.
Perfect for families who play together. For parents who take their child's passions seriously. For kids who already know: some things just have a right order.
A Look Inside
Let's Go, Intayon!
A day in Ilocos Norte — with pandesal, jeepneys, music, and two languages moving together. From the majestic Padsan River to the lively Aurora Park, this dual-language picture book brings to life the scents of the bakery, the sounds of the street, and the sight of kalesas through the eyes of a young Filipino boy and his mother.
Rhythmic text based on an original song makes this a natural read-aloud. Ilocano and English on every page, equal partners.
Perfect for bedtime, classroom read-alouds, and any family keeping a language alive.
Bambantay Tuturod
The Mountains Stand With Us
High in the mountains of Northern Luzon, the bambantay — the steadfast mountain — watches over the people, the land, and their stories. In this lyrical picture book, two young friends invite you to join them as they ride horses through sunlit hills, drink fresh milk, and rest in the peaceful shade of the trees.
Adapted from the beloved Ilocano folk song Bambantay Tuturod, this book includes original Ilocano lyrics alongside a faithful, singable English version, vibrant culturally authentic illustrations, a glossary of Ilocano words, and a cultural note exploring the song's origins and place in Philippine heritage.
Whether you're reconnecting with your roots or discovering Ilocano culture for the first time, Bambantay Tuturod is more than a story — it's a song you can sing, a language you can learn, and a piece of home you can hold in your hands.
