“A young girl in a bright, polka-dot dress invites readers to spend a day with her in the Philippines. Readers meet her lola (grandmother), tatay (father), and other cheerful members of her family . . . This board book has vivid illustrations packed with color and personality. Making the decision to add this to your collection should be as easy as isa, dalawa, tatlo.” ~  School Library Journal Starred Review
