Tay Klehew i Smalaf

A storybook for Blaan children.

Save The Children commissioned illustrations for Tay Klehew i Smalaf, a children’s book created with the Blaan people of Southern Mindanao, Philippines. The project is part of Save The Children’s First Read program, which helps young children (age 0-4) learn about their indigenous culture. Tay Klehew i Smalaf tells the story of a family fishing trip and introduces the reader to the fishing methods they use.
