Lola’s Bahay Kubo

Written by WIDA SARI
Illustrated by Alina Aphayvanh, Amalendu Kaushik, Isaac Sikhakhane, Maithili Joshi, Promina Shreshtha, WIDA SARI

This story follows Abi, a 7-year-old girl who spends her Easter holiday in Owakan, Jimalalud, Negros Oriental, staying with her yaya’s family in a traditional Filipino household. As a foreigner, Abi is touched by the warmth and love she experiences, and for the first time, she feels like she has found a second family in the heart of the Philippines. Her adventure begins in a simple bahay kubo on a hill, where life moves gently and food is grown in the backyard. She discovers the beauty of living close to nature—catching native chickens, picking vegetables like sayote and malunggay, and taking refreshing baths in the river. Through it all, Abi learns about Filipino culture, language, and faith.

Suggested age, readers, English difficulty and US school grade are separate labels. Age groups are guidance based on source information or editorial review; unreviewed books are “Not assessed”. A US grade is assigned only with source information or a documented assessment; otherwise it is “Not assessed”. Levels use A1–C2 to indicate reading difficulty. StoryWeaver levels 1/2/3/4 use our approximate A1/A2/B1/B2 guide, labelled “estimated”; this is not an official equivalence. A book-specific assessment takes priority. Other unassessed books are labelled “Not assessed”. Source StoryWeaver levels are retained separately. Classics retain their original English.
