Rice is very important to the Filipino, which is why there are so many legends regarding the grain. This creative retelling by National Artist for Literature Virgilio S. Almario, illustrated by Conrad A. Raquel, tells the story of husband-and-wife Banag and Danas and how agriculture began in the Philippines. It also includes supplementary information about rice cultivation in the Philippines and a list of the common rice varieties.

This book is recommended for children ages ten years old and above.
