An extensive collection of children’s activity books, picture books and story books are also available. Part of the proceeds of the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale will benefit Gawad Kalinga’s outreach programs.
To further celebrate the season of giving, shoppers can purchase and donate books for Gawad Kalinga communities at the Red Readerhood area.
