During a long stormy night, Maya, a young Filipino girl hears a huge thud.  In the morning, she see's that a families roof with their name and address on it has landed in her yard.  She wants to return it.   Her dad rolls up the metal roof and they start the long journey to return the roof.   As they come across obstructions caused by the storm, other neighbors help them pass.  They find the roof's family but there are so many families without a roof.  What else can they do to help?

Sy celebrates the spirit of cooperation and kindness we display when we help each other overcome challenges.  Lush and cinematic illustrations help create a nice story to be read aloud.
