The team chose to focus on José Rizal’s poetry because it offers a more personal and relatable way for children to connect with him—not just as a historical figure, but as a real person with hopes, feelings, and dreams. While his novels are rich in meaning, they can be complex for younger readers. His poems, on the other hand, are more accessible—expressing powerful emotions and reflections in a form that’s easier for children to understand and engage with. Through his verses, you and your child can step into Rizal’s world, experiencing his joys, sorrows, and love for the Philippines in a heartfelt and meaningful way.
To ignite a sense of nationalism in the hearts of Filipino youth while encouraging children to explore and express their emotions through the power of writing, this initiative aims to nurture both love for country and self-expression. By connecting young minds with the values and stories found in José Rizal’s works, we hope to inspire pride in their heritage and a deeper understanding of their identity. At the same time, we encourage children to find their own voices—learning that their thoughts and feelings matter, and that writing can be a powerful tool for self-discovery, creativity, and change..
To provide a platform that showcases and promotes José Rizal’s lesser-known literary works, particularly his poetry for children, this initiative seeks to bring attention to the gentler, more personal side of the national hero. While Rizal is often celebrated for his novels, his poems offer unique insights into his thoughts on love, hope, and the Filipino identity, tailored for younger audiences. By highlighting these works, we aim to introduce a new generation to his timeless wisdom and creativity, allowing children to connect with his messages in a more accessible and meaningful way. This approach not only broadens their understanding of Rizal’s contributions but also deepens their appreciation for the beauty of literature.
