Pan de Sal Saves the Day is the story of a young girl named Pan de Sal who thinks shes the unluckiest girl in the whole world. Aside from not liking her own name and finding her appearance strange, she doesnt have all the fancy things that her classmates have. She cannot even muster the courage to try out for the Glee Club, even though she has a beautiful voice.
Things change suddenly when an unexpected event forces her into the limelight. With her innate talent and resourcefulness, Pan de Sal wins the admiration of her classmates and finds the confidence she needs to fulfill her dreams.
Although written specifically for Filipino children, Pan de Sal Saves the Day is an inspiring story for young children everywhere--as well as for anyone, young or old, who has ever felt like an outsider.
Pan de Sal Saves the Day won first prize in the Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature, the most prestigious literary competition in the Philippines. This competition was established by the heirs of Don Carlos Palanca Sr. to commemorate him through works of literature that enhance the countrys cultural heritage.
