"Ang Ikaklit sa Aming Hardin"
panulat ni Bernadette Neri
"Ngayong taon din nakatakda ang publikasyon ng "Ang Ikaklit sa Aming Hardin" (Publikasyong Twamkittens, 2012), kuwento ni Bernadette Neri at guhit ni Cj de Silva, unang gantimpala sa 2006 Palanca Award para sa kuwentong pambata. Magsisilbing panandang-bato ang aklat na ito dahil sa matapang at positibong pagtalakay ang naiibang anyo ng pamilya, ang pagkakaroon ng lesbian na magulang ng isang bata. Napapanahon ang ganitong mga kuwento na naglalayong hamunin ang nakamihasnang pananaw sa mga homosekswal at itampok sila hindi lamang sa seksuwal nilang identidad kundi sa kakayahan na makabuo ng pamilya at makahubog ng isang mabuting indibidwal." -- Eugene Evasco, Sitwasyon ng Panitikang Pambata sa Pilipinas (2010-2012)

*with apologies as i just grabbed this pic from your fb profile. i did send you a message of my intent :)*
"dahil independent ang
publikasyon, malamang na hindi ninyo ito makikita sa national bookstore.
Mas malamang na sa maliliit na bookstore lang."
