Proceeds will benefit CANVAS' various projects and continuing efforts to promote greater awareness and appreciation for Philippine art, culture and the environment, including:

• Romeo Forbes Children's Literacy Initiative - Starting 2011, CANVAS has been giving out thousands of our books to disadvantaged children in public schools, hospitals, orphanages and communities throughout the Philippines, in the belief that the merger of great art with great storytelling will not only promote literacy, but, more importantly, engender a love for books that in turn leads to children acquiring reading as a lifelong skill.

• Looking for Juan - Under this Program, CANVAS explores and encourages the use of art to promote debate and discussion on selected social development issues, particularly national identity, sustainable development and technology & culture. 

• TEDxDiliman  - Licensed under TED, TEDxDiliman is managed through CANVAS, and is an annual conference where carefully curated speakers share ideas worth spreading.

A winner at the 2012 National Children's Book Awards, Doll Eyes is a thrilling read, a thrilling ride, through the labyrinth that is Quiapo. The illustrations capture the mystique as well as the mess of the place, join together the marvelous with the everyday, and paint eerie portraits of a terrible dollmaker and her terrified and helpless dolls. This gripping horror story confirms our worst fears, withers our hopes, then restores us to the strength of friendship, reassuring us that help is just a prayer away." 

(Written by Eline Santos. Artworks by Joy Mallari. Translation by Augie Rivera. Citation by Celeste Aida Abad-Jugo.)

Ang Dyip ni Mang Tomas, written by Palanca winner Genaro R. Gojo Cruz, is a touching tribute of a son to his father. The story is inspired by authentically Pinoy icons, traditions and values - from jeepneys to family to Simbang Gabi - and will be enjoyed by children and parents alike. 

Originally penned in Filipino, an English translation by children's literature writer and U.P. Professor Heidi Eusebio Abad, also accompanies the text.

Tahan Na, Tahanan is a poignant story about home, fittingly written by the first OFW to win our annual Romeo Forbes Children's Story Writing Competition.

(Written by Maria Isabel Alarilla-Arellano. Artworks by Don Salubayba.)
