Little Healers of Southeast Asia

Little Healers of Southeast Asia brings
together stories inspired by oral
traditions, family knowledge, and
children’s everyday curiosity about
ethnomedicine or herbal medicine.
Across Yogyakarta, Camarines Norte, and
the Mekong Delta in Ho Chi Minh City,
young characters learn that healing is
not only about plants and remedies, but
also about care, memory, community, and
respect for nature.
This manuscript is designed as a
culturally grounded children’s book that
celebrates intergenerational learning
while introducing readers to local
healing practices in ways that are gentle,
imaginative, and age-appropriate.
