About the Author:
The archipelago nation of the Philippines is comprised of more than 7,100 islands on which over 170 dialects are spoken. This is not surprising given the many ethnic groups that have settled in the Philippines, each bringing traditions that have been assimilated by the Filipino people. One way to understand this varied nation is through its colorful folklore.
Dianne de Las Casas was an award-winning author and storyteller who toured internationally presenting programs, educator/librarian training, workshops, and artist residencies.
Zarah C. Gagatiga is a nationally-acclaimed storyteller, librarian, and writer in the Philippines.
