Happy Book Anniversary, Marikit and the Ocean of Stars!

Three years ago, my debut middle-grade book made its drop and I have always been thankful ever since.

And so, to celebrate everything that this book stands for, here’s an illustration I always wished I had for Marikit: our little heroine standing a la Alice in Wonderland, facing the legendary bamboo grove where from there peeked some of the gods, monsters, and friends featured in the book.

Please forgive me, for I made this illustration myself, and did my best to portray our beloved Bathala and Aman Sinaya, along with some shadows lurking behind the gaps.

Marikit and the Ocean of Stars is available in hardcover, paperback, e-book, and audiobook versions. Buy it on your favorite bookstores, or borrow it from your library. Looking for reviews? Head to Goodreads to find out what readers think of Marikit!
