Kamayan celebrates the journey of Filipino food and the people who make it possible - the farmers who plant the rice, the fishers who brave the tides, and the families who cook, gather, and share in joyful community.
Through lyrical storytelling, this picture book honors the spirit of bayanihan - the Filipino value of working together for the common good. Every grain of rice and every dish on the table carries a story of care, gratitude, and harmony with the land.
A familiar rhythm invites everyone to join: (To the tune of "BINGO") Magsasaka had some rice, Rice for the kamayan. B-I-G-A-S B-I-G-A-S B-I-G-A-S Rice for the kamayan!
