   Summary:  On  Monte  Segrado  there  stood  a  tree  that  was  relished  for  it’s  healing  properties.  Blindly,  a  man  chopped  down  the  tree  in  order  to  become  rich  from  its  leaves.  As  punishment,  his  three  daughters  were  imprisoned;  taking  the  place  of  a  greedy  snake  that  was  previously  condemned  to  the  tree.  At  the  request  of  his  mother,  the  youngest  brother  Pedro  soon  sets  off  to  bring  his  sisters  home.  

This  story  is  written  bilingually  with  the  Tagalog  language  coming  first,  which  makes  it  very  accessible  for  ELLs  to  access  their  L1  when  learning  English.  In  the  back  of  the  book  there  is  a  glossary  of  terms  translated  and  defined  in  both  Tagalog  and  English.

day:  A  Filipino  children’s  story.  Rutland:  Tuttle  Publishing.  [ISBN:  978-­0-­8048-­4078-­1].  

     Summary:  This  is  the  story  of  a  young  girl  named  Pan  de  Sal.    She  is  a  talented  singer  and  a  very  good  sipa  player,  but  she  is  very  shy  and  a  bit  embarrassed  of  her  family’s  lack  of  money  compared  to  that  of  her  peers.  Pan  de  Sal  is  surprised  when  her  classmates  find  her  games  fun,  her  food  delicious,  and  her  singing  voice  beautiful.    

The  story  does  a  great  job  of  highlighting  the  many  special  attributes  of  Filipino  culture,  and  would  be  a  great  read  for  anyone,  including  ELLs,  who  may  be  trying  to  fit  into  a  culture  different  than  their  own.  This  story  contains  many  Tagalog  words  and  includes  the  lyrics  to  Pan  de  Sal’s  favorite  song  in  both  English  and  Tagalog.
