Dita Sows A Good Deed

Description

Written by Melissa Salva
Illustrated by Anabelle Laureola

Dita Sows A Good Deed draws inspiration from the true-to-life experience of Raymund B. Villanueva of how 36 people, including a baby boy, survived the fatal floods brought by Tropical Storm “Ondoy” (international name: Ketsana) in Quezon City by perching on a “dita” tree.

A story inspired by the essay “The Lifesaver” by Raymund B. Villanueva
Philippine Native Trees 101: Up Close and Personal

This book is part of a set of five books “Tata Oskie’s Collection of Children’s Books on Philippine Native Trees” produced by Green Convergence, with the goal of introducing kids to trees that are native to the Philippines and promote environmental protection and literacy among young readers.

Written in simple English and Filipino languages, and featuring colorful illustrations, the books are primarily created for children. But even the young-once are sure to learn a thing or two about the country’s endemic trees that are often overlooked or were simply forgotten.
