Melo the Umang-Boy
This beautiful, self-published children's book is a collaboration between myself (the co-author, designer, and publisher), my co-author Alyssa Sarmiento-Co, and illustrator Jaypee Portez. The book is soft-cover, 8x10 inches. I can sign or dedicate it on request.
Story Summary: Melo is a painfully shy little boy living with his grandmother and uncle. One day he visits a magical, busy city on the bottom of the ocean, filled with talking sea creatures. Disaster strikes the city, and he must overcome his shyness to help the sea creatures rebuild. This book is bilingual, in English and Ivatan.
