Mang Andoy’s Signs

Best Reads for 2014 and 2015, National Children’s Book Awards 2016

Mang Andoy the signmaker is given the challenge of a lifetime when the Mayor barges into his workshop one day and complains, “It’s chaos out there! Nobody’s following the rules!” How then can Mang Andoy create signs that would turn their unruly community into law-abiding citizens? The art of persuasion is delightfully unveiled in Paterno’s richly nuanced urban tale brought to street life by Roxas’ zany imagination. Children will be all the wiser to learn that how you ask is just as important as what you ask for.
