I don’t really like rain. It hurts my ear when the rain is pouring hard. I felt sad and scared at the same time. But this bookfriend – Mga Saranggola sa Tag-ulan, encouraged me to use my imagination during rainy days.

The boy named Miguel wanted to fly a kite. But it was already rainy season. His creativity and imagination didn’t stop him from making and “flying” his own kite. This inspired other kids in Miguel’s neighborhood. They also created their own kite. They flew their kite all together throughout the rainy days.

Nea’s Review

My favorite character is Miguel because he is creative and imaginative.
The book is fun, easy to read and understand.
What I learned is using your creativity and imagination, you can still have fun during gloomy days.

It’s good that the book is in dual language – Filipino and English. This makes the story more understandable.
