Through the eyes of Sam, a Filipino-American boy visiting the Philippines for the very first time, children will learn about Philippine customs and language. Soft, whimsical watercolours--labelled with English words and Filipino translations--bring to light the difference between Western and Philippine lifestyles. Children of expatriate Filipinos, as well as expatriate children living in the Philippines will find 'Filipino Friends' indispensable in bridging the gap between the two cultures.
