"Panday" means blacksmith, carpenter, or builder. As a noun, "isip" means mind. As a verb, "isip" means to think. We put them together -- "panday-isip" -- because good books shape and build learners in a perpetual workshop of the mind. More importantly, both blacksmith and carpenter are builders and thinkers.

We are trying to live our vision -- not when we are richer, but right now, right here. That's why we donate one peso to Bantay Bata 163 for every copy sold of Annie D. Ant and The Fourth Little Pig. In addition, Annie's author donates all of her royalties to Bantay Bata 163.
