Editorial Reviews:

Through the eyes of Sam, a Filipino-American boy visiting the Philippines for the very first time, children will learn about Philippine customs and language. Soft, whimsical watercolors labeled with English words and Filipino translations bring to light the differences between Western and Philippine lifestyles. Children of expatriate Filipinos as well as expatriate children living in the Philippines will find Filipino Friends indispensable in bridging the gap between the two cultures.

Summary: Great book for Filipino Americans :)
Comment: Loved this book. Can't wait to read my daughter this book and let her know a little bit about her heritage. The book also helped me review Tagalog as I'm not the greatest speaker since I am American born and my own parents not passing on the language.

Summary: Filipino Friends book review
Comment: My 2 and 3/4 year old son loves this book and requests for it everyday. He specifically loves for me to sing the song "Bahay Kubo" and point out the vegetables pictures in the book. He is actually learning how to sing "Bahay Kubo" even though he really doesn't know what the words mean. The loves the character Sam, and I love to point out pictures which I say in English and Tagalog.

Summary: Adorable! A Great Cultural Tool
Comment: I ordered this book for my daughter, who was adopted from the Philippines. Bright, colorful pictures, full of fun facts on culture and language, this book is perfect, particularly for adopted children or Filipino children born in the US. This book would a great asset for introducing Filipino language and culture in an elementary school classroom. I will be buying another copy to add to my classroom library.
