Little Rhino Lost, the newest picture book from award-winning author Candy Gourlay, is now available in the Filipino language.

In the middle of Manila’s big gray city, a polite little rhino gets lost. Maya gently responds to his call for help, invites him to rest in her home and draws up a plan to reunite him with his mother. Her big idea? Get the neighbors to work together and fill their city with lush greens—the sort of place any rhino could call home

Naliligaw ang munting rinosero! Paano siya matatagpuan ng kanyang nanay sa kongkretong lungsod, malayo sa kagubatan?

May idea si Maya. Sa tulong ng mga kapitbahay, maaari nilang gawing luntian ang lungsod para sa munting rinosero, upang matawag itong tahanan.
