ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Tita Juliet loves books. She reads not only for pleasure but also because she's a book editor. She edits mostly books that promote mental health and uplift Filipino culture. She started editing for OMF Literature Inc. in 1993. Around that time, her friends in the Christian Writers Fellowship encouraged her to write stories for children. She has written Oh Nose! in 2024 and three stories for Tutubi Patrol. The first two, Tutubi Patrol 4: Si Baw, si Bo, at si Nognog Niyog and Tutubi Patrol 5: Si Isko at ang Anino, were translated into Chinese in 1998 and 1999, respectively. In 2000, she wrote Tutubi Patrol 9: Si Ningning Kuting at ang Pusang Gala for her husband who loves cats and kittens. This book was published a few months before the birth of their son, who also turned out to love cats and kittens. Tutubi Patrol was animated and aired on Channel 5 in 2003 and 2005.
