Starting out in 1980 as a small publishing house, Adarna House became the country's leading publisher of books for children, parents, teachers, and social workers. Our readers choose from a wide range of titles — all original publications that feature Filipino values, culture, history, and experiences. Created through an intensive book development process, our books have earned the recommendation of authoritative educational institutions and experts.

For thirty years, our dedication to Filipino children has always gone further than giving them a library of quality books. As the only comprehensive literacy services provider in the country, we have developed reading programs and services to complement our products. After all, our vision goes well beyond mere book-production. Education and literacy are our foremost commitments, and we make sure that our books and programs give Filipinos — old and young alike — a reason to love reading, and learning. Our real business is the business of inspiring Filipino children to dream, to explore worlds, to enjoy their childhood, and to take pride in being Filipino.

Our Logo

Our company was named after the Adarna bird, the mythical creature whose song could cure any affliction. Our logo — an image of this magical bird taking flight, its head turned to see where it came from — is the symbol of our dedication to the legacy of bringing the healing power of reading and knowledge to the children of our nation. As we mark our thirtieth year, we continue to soar beyond the limits of book publishing, moving towards the greater challenge of education as a whole. And just like the Adarna bird, we are bound to look to our roots and remember our history to give us direction as we take wing.
