A Flood of Kindness

Follow the adventures of endearing 6-year-old Mateo, a farmer’s son from Umingan, Pangasinan. Teo meets odd people and stumbles into strange situations, but in every encounter, his admirable character shines through. Teo’s example inspires children to love God and others in everyday life. The last book in the Oh! Mateo series brings back all the characters from all 13 previous books, characters that kids have grown to love. The town of Umingan was devastated by the flood but instead of bringing the people of Umingan down, the tragedy inspired acts of kindness, generosity, and love from the townspeople.
