In commemoration of this year’s National Children’s Book Day, Ang Ilustrador ng Kabataan proudly presents artworks made by our members from books published from 2023 to 2024.

A children’s book is often a child’s first encounter with art. With each turn of the illustrated page, pictures help shape the thoughts and dreams of young readers. In Bagong Pahina, we celebrate the newest crop of illustrated works for children and the role they play in enriching both hearts and minds
