This is a story that reminds us that we belong, that home is where your heart is, therefore, home is with the people you love. This book felt like coming home, like a blanket that envelopes my shivering, longing, being. I love how the author used metaphors of Filipino folklores and Deities to share her story to her children. 

It was very comforting and nostalgic for me to read from a perspective of a women who grew up with the same mythologies and songs as me.
