Author Jacqueline Dominique Go is back with another breathtaking journey, unveiling the latest installment of her beloved children’s series, “The Adventures of Damgo.” In a thrilling new chapter that’s as visually stunning as it is heartwarming, our favorite young astronaut, Damgo, finds himself on a breathtaking new planet.

The second book in the series, “Leon in the Waterworld,” plunges Damgo into a vibrant, unexplored oceanic world teeming with curious and captivating life.

The book’s highly anticipated launch at Book Nook at SM Podium on August 13 was a joyous celebration of imagination and storytelling. Looking back on the series’ humble beginnings, Go shared her astonishment at its rapid success. The first book was a resounding hit, successfully raising significant funds for Bahay Aruga and giving a powerful platform to the voices of young artists.

“I remember the fear and excitement of publishing the first book, never imagining it would resonate with so many young readers,” she said. “I’m so grateful it’s become this beautiful, ongoing series that I get to share with the world.”
