Zayden Ramos, superboy and child author

March 8, 2012

Check out this beautifully written and illustrated book, The Hunters.

You will be floored! This book was written by a 4 year old. It is the perfect book for an early reading boy from ages 4 to 8 as it tells the story of Steve Hunter and his friends who try to save the Earth from an alien invasion from the planet Orania.

Part children’s book and part graphic novel, “The Hunters” was written by 4 year old Zayden Ramos and beautifully illustrated by award winning comic book illustrator and Trese creator Kajo Baldisimo.

This was at Zayden’s book launch attended by his classmates, hosted by his aunt Xandra Padilla. He wrote this when he was 4 years old! He’s 5 now.

“The Hunters” is filled with adventure and basically everything young boys like. After all it was written by one of them. Zayden’s dad, Miguel Ramos, told me that this is for boys who don’t really care about fuzzy warm stuff like mamas who are llamas. (Hey, we love “Is your mama a llama?”) But when my girls got their copy, they loved everything about it! So this is for boys AND girls.

Lily remembered that she used to draw aliens when she was just 4 years old. Here is her drawing of an alien abduction. On the upper right you’ll see a duck being abducted by aliens. Then there a “fat” alien controlling the ship in the middle.

Another Lily drawing from when she was 4. A happy alien family dropping colourful balls into the earth. There’s also a girly space ship. Notice the mother alien… she has gorgeous lashes. And so does little girl alien. Lily loved drawing lashes.

“The Hunters” is published by Powerhans, the distributor of Brainy Baby in the Philippines. “The Hunters” is available for P169.75 in all National Book Store, Powerbooks and Bestsellers branches and on www.nationalbookstore.com.
