Description

Kailani's Gift is a heartwarming picture book that celebrates family, Filipino heritage, and dance. As Kailani watches her siblings practice a traditional Filipino dance for their grandparents' anniversary party, she longs to join them. With the help of Daddy, Kailani practices the motions of the dance step by step, learning patience and perseverance along the way. As Kailani works towards mastering the tinikling, she also discovers the value of sharing her gifts with others. Will she be able to learn the dance in time to surprise her Lolo and Lola? This beautifully illustrated book pairs exquisitely with its storytelling, showcasing Filipino culture and traditions through a glossary of Tagalog terms. Dorina Gilmore-Young's story is accompanied by Lynnor Bontigao's stunning illustrations, making this a wonderful introduction to the tinikling and Filipino heritage for young readers.
