KIKO KITIKITI, OUR NEW BOOK @ ROOM TO READ/RTR BOOK LAUNCH 2020

By Lauren V. Macaraeg

Tabi, dali, eto na si KIKO KITIKITI! (Author: Lauren V. Macaraeg. Illustrator: Ito/Luis Chua) 🏃📖🌌❤️✏️😻📚🤸 Our new children’s book about a lively boy w/ ADHD was one of the 20 books launched by Room to Read/RtR on February 27, 2020 @ Museo Pambata. 📚

Thanks to Room to Read/Adarna House, Sir Al Santos, Lampara Books & Sir Segundo “Jun” Matias, our publishers, for this incredible chance to make a difference in the lives of Filipino kids.

Thanks to Ito Chua for the gorgeous, whimsical illustrations that brought KIKO KITIKITI to life.

Thanks to our creative, cheerful Team Lampara for helping me weave KIKO’s story together, kay Ms. Aiko Salazar, Ms. Melai Esguerra, Ms. Alen Mangabat, Ms. Zarah Gagatiga, Reina Peralta, Genaro Cruz, Norman Boquiren & Raywin Tome.

Thanks to our talented, helpful friends from OMF Literature/Hiyas, Anvil & Adarna House (special thanks to Ms. Kristine Canon & Alyssa Reyes for their valuable input on ADHD) for an awesome collaborative experience.

Thanks also to Pepot Atienza & Joshene Bersales sa pag-proxy kay Luis sa KIKO KITIKITI book launch photo op (na biglang naging dance party lol! 😂).

Thanks to Jesus, the Great Author, for making this RtR adventure a part of my story. 💖

KIKO KITIKITI & the rest of the 20 books are not yet for sale at present. This first batch of books that was published will be given to less privileged Filipino kids all over the country. Grabe, ang sarap ng feeling na makasali sa project na ito! 📚

Congratulations ulit sa ating lahat! Let’s keep reading & let’s keep writing. At gaya ni KIKO KITIKITI na kasing likot ng kitikiti, let’s keep running, jumping & cartwheeling towards our dreams! 🏃📖🌌❤️✏️😻📚🤸

Bookworm cheers & meows from Lauren V. Macaraeg ❤️📖😻

*Some book launch photos are courtesy of Ms. Zarah Gagatiga. Also, some photos are from our Room to Read Christmas Book Preview Event 2019 & Writers’ Workshop, in order to include others who were not able to make it to the book launch (plus, we were not able to take a big group pic at the launch lol 😂). Finally, the actual size of KIKO KITIKITI is bigger than the mini book I’m holding in some of the photos.
