Big Bad Wolf Books Is BacK

As a mom who has homeschooled her boys and as someone who writes books herself, reading isn’t just a pastime in our home, it’s a way of life. So you can imagine the joy I felt when I heard Big Bad Wolf Books is finally back in Metro Manila, this time at V-Mall Greenhills from May 23 to June 2, 2025.

My boys and I have spent countless hours reading pages together. Storytime was one of our favorite learning tools when they were little. Even now that they’re older, I still see how their early love for books shaped how they think, write, and understand the world. They know how to spot a good story, and I can honestly say it all started with being surrounded by good books.

That’s why events like Big Bad Wolf matter. It’s more than just a book sale. It’s a celebration of reading. And this year’s edition promises over 2 million books, with prices slashed up to 95% off! You can grab titles for as low as ₱60, and there are even exclusive bulk discounts for schools and libraries, a blessing for educators and homeschoolers like me.

Red Readerhood program

The team behind Big Bad Wolf is also thinking long-term. Co-founder Jacqueline Ng shared how literacy isn’t just about reading for fun; it’s a life skill. She pointed out that nearly 19 million students in the Philippines struggle with functional literacy. That hit me hard. As someone who’s seen firsthand how books open up a child’s imagination and confidence, I know just how important access to quality stories is.

That’s why I truly admire their Red Readerhood program, which donates books to underserved communities. Every child deserves the chance to read, dream, and grow. And initiatives like this help make that possible.

So if you’re a fellow book-loving parent, teacher, or tita looking for meaningful bonding time with your kids (or even for your own next great read), don’t miss this. Big Bad Wolf at V-Mall Greenhills runs May 23 to June 2. It’s FREE to enter, and open 10 AM–9 PM (Mon-Thu) and 10 AM–10 PM (Fri-Sun).

See you in the aisles, book in hand, heart full.
