Mother of the Fairytale (Inahan sa Sugilanon) is a book showing the inspiring story of how Tuburan, a green school community in the outskirts of Davao City, Philippines came into existence. For three years since the inception of the school in 2012, Louise Far, a photographer passionate in holistic education followed the story of the school and bore witness to the unfolding education of the head, heart and hands.

Mother of the Fairytale gives a glimpse of the journey of the school’s first teachers, the daily challenges and triumphs of little children, and the emerging sense of space and community among parents and friends of the school. Also included in the book are relevant essays on the book project itself, the experience of initiating Tuburan, early manifestations of holistic education through the story of Steiner education in the Philippines, and a macro perspective on education and the true need it must address. These essays were written by exemplary writers who have been involved in the realm of holistic education as parents, teachers, researchers, movement sparkers and initiative-takers.
