Lolo’s Sari-sari Store is included in Bank Street College’s Best Books of the Year!

From the Bank Street Center for Education website:

“In choosing books for the annual list, committee members consider literary quality and excellence of presentation as well as the potential emotional impact of the books on young readers. Other criteria include credibility of characterization and plot, authenticity of time and place, age suitability, positive treatment of ethnic and religious differences, and the absence of stereotypes.”

So grateful to the committee for including Lolo’s Sari-sari Store in this amazing collection of books for young readers. Hoping that this recognition helps the book find more of the readers who need it.

You can buy Lolo’s Sari-Sari Store here, or if you are unable to do so, please consider requesting it at your local library. Even that does so much to help authors like me get our books out to more people.

If you’ve read the book already, please consider leaving a review on Amazon, Goodreads, and on Storygraph.

Thank you so much for reading!
