Episode 115 - Children's Literature and locating "home"
On this solemn Good Friday, Sigi and Jezzie spotlight children's literature and children's books. They fondly remember some children's classics and explore soon-to-be contemporary classics for Filipino Canadians. In particular, they showcase the award-winning Filipino Children's Story "Pan de Sal Saves the Day", "My First Book of Tagalog Words", "Filipino Celebrations: A Treasury of Feasts and Festivals" and "Hoy! A Philippine Islands Activity Book" by Toronto's own Eric Tigley. Later, Sigi and Jezzie unpack what it means when a Filipino Canadian has not visited the Philippines, and conclude on how national identity isn't tied to going back "home."
