I also have got a grandpa with whom I spent time my young childhood. What I liked about the book more is its illustrations drawn by Maurice Risulmi I find them so cute and realistic. It is a story about a grandson telling about the sweet memories of his grandpa Ding who taught him good manners and moral lessons- a story to which those adults who grew up with their grandpas when they were still young can relate.
In English translation, it could be Grandpa Ding’s Tender Loving Care. So it just so happened that both my nephew and sister alike borrowed an armful of children books from an NGO which project is to boost children’s literacy, I took the good chance to read this among them. Since Genaro Gojo Cruz endeared me to his children books, especially to his best-selling YA Connecting the Dots, I am now fond of reading other Filipino children books.
