About Us

Kia ora at mabuhay!

Maraming salamat sa pagbisita. I’m Mamma Donna, a Filipino mum to a growing toddler. I'm very excited to share these collections that Elio and I love. It takes a village to raise a multilingual child, so we'd like to empower our extended family, kaiako, and friends with books to enjoy learning the Philippine languages together.

Since 2022, we have grown this little passion project into Filipino Storytime sessions in Auckland libraries, together with other NZ-based nanay, ate, tita, and Lola, who lend their voices and talents to introduce our favorite Filipino childhood stories, songs, and games to young ones and kids-at-heart alike. We look forward to seeing more Filipino Storytime programmes across all libraries in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to stay updated on new arrivals, market booth schedules, and upcoming Storytime sessions. We'd love to hear from you, whether you have book suggestions or just want to chat!

From my Family to Yours!
