AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT. Reni Roxas is a storyteller, publisher, and the heart behind Tahanan Books — one of the Philippines’ leading publishers of children’s literature.

Fast forward five years, and with the creative vision of artist Adrian Panadero, Reni has brought Pretty Peach to life as a charming picture book, which was launched this year.

In this conversation, we catch up with Reni Roxas to dive into the story behind her latest release and hear about her mission to nurture Filipino children’s literature through Tahanan Books.
