Our fathers are the superheroes of our lives. No matter what, they would protect us from harm and save us when challenges come our way. They work tirelessly to provide for our needs, support us in our biggest life decisions, and motivate us to become the best version of ourselves. Although they may not fly, read minds, or teleport like fictional heroes, we can always count on them.

Pagpupugay ang palihang ito kay Rene O. Villanueva, naging guro, mentor at kaibigan ng DFPP. Sa kanyang buhay, nagkamit siya ng mga parangal para sa kanyang mga akdang pambata tulad ng Ang Unang Baboy sa Langit, Kung Bakit Umuulan, at Nemo, Ang Batang Papel na pawang nanalo sa Palanca Memorial Awards. Siya ang kauna-unahang Pilipinong nominado sa Hans Christian Andersen Award. Naging head writer siya ng Batibot, na umabot sa higit na dalawampu’t limang taon sa ere, naging palagiang kaibigan ng mga batang Filipino ang mga nilakhang tauhan dito tulad nina Pong Pagong at Kiko Matsing. Isa rin sa mga nilikha niyang kahalina-halina, ubod ng talinong pagkukuwento ang Ang Pambihirang Buhok ni Lola. Nagtataguyod at kumilala sa katapangan at kabayanihan ng mga Pilipina na naisantabi ng kasaysayan.
