Tahanan Books Pok Pok Alimpako: A Maranao Folk Song

Behind every Tahanan book is a wealth of stories. The books they’ve published over the years—over 150 titles—were born out of creative collaborations with talented authors and artists. And you, the readers, are very much a part of their story!

""Pok Pok Alimpako"" is a game song in which children stack their fists, building an imaginary staircase to the moon and stars. Taking inspiration from the delicately intricate okir motifs in Maranao traditional art, Liza Flores used paper cutouts to weave a whimsical journey.
