Two kites. One big. One small.
Two people. A father and son.
Join them on golden afternoons, and relive with them an unforgettable tale of camaraderie, rivalry, and friendship.
In her Palanca award-winning story for children, Lin Acacio-Flores uses a father and son's unspoken bond of love to showcase the exciting, poignant escapades of a pair of quarreling kites. National Children's Book Award artist Hermes Alegre's striking oil paintings depict the beauty of the Philippine rural landscape against which the airborne adventures of the kites unfold.
