摘要：The Rocking Horse written by Becky Bravo and illustrated by Elmer Borlongan was the first winner of The Romeo Forbes Children’s Storywriting Competition,an annual contest organized by Canvas,a nonprofit organization that works with artists,writers,artisans,museums and other institutions to create opportunities,and promote broader awareness and appreciation for Philippine art,culture and environment. (www.canvas. ph) The book,the first of many more,is the result of an ekphrastic process that began with a painting by Elmer Borlongan of a grown man sitting on a rocking horse as he plays the violin. The text by Becky Bravo,inspired by this one painting,was further illustrated by Borlongan and eventually published as a children’s book.
