We are very happy to feature multi-award-winning illustrator and author of Filipino children’s books, Mr. Jomike Tejido in GatheringBooks today. Do click on the link below to be taken to our short conversation with Jomike about his latest picture book collaboration with one of my favorite singer-songwriters of all times, Mr. Noel Cabangon.

Jomike was also very generous in sharing a few of the original artwork and spreads from their glorious picture book which is crafted from hand-woven mat artwork. Truly original and inspired and makes beautiful use of indigenous materials.

Just one of the beautiful hand-woven art work found in the book. Copyright of Jomike Tejido.
