A Children's Storybook Page 1 A long time ago in Israel, there was a kind woman named Hannah. She loved God very much, but she was sad because she had no children. Every year, she went to the temple to pray. Page 2 One day, with tears in her eyes, Hannah prayed, “Lord, if You give me a son, I will give him back to You to serve You all his life.” Page 3 The priest, Eli, saw Hannah praying and said, “May God grant your request.” Hannah believed in God’s promise and left the temple full of hope. Page 4 God answered Hannah’s prayer! She gave birth to a baby boy and named him Samuel, which means “God has heard.” She loved him dearly. Page 5 When Samuel was old enough, Hannah kept her promise. She brought him to the temple and said to Eli, “God has blessed me with a son, and now I give him back to serve the Lord.” Page 6 Samuel grew up in the temple, learning from Eli. One night, he heard a voice calling, “Samuel! Samuel!” He thought Eli was calling him, but Eli said, “I did not call you. Go back to sleep.” Page 7 The voice called again, and again Samuel ran to Eli. But Eli realized it was God speaking to Samuel! He told Samuel, “Say, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening.’” Page 8 Samuel listened, and God spoke to him. From that night on, Samuel became a great prophet, guiding Israel and teaching them to follow God. Page 9 Hannah’s faith and promise led to Samuel becoming one of the greatest leaders of Israel. And through it all, she was thankful, knowing that God had answered her prayer. Page 10 “For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my request.” – 1 Samuel 1:27

Adventures in the secret garden

A smart girl who loves dancing and singing

In this heartwarming and introspective story, Celine holds a mysterious mirror that has always given her answers to life’s questions—big or small, personal or profound. Every time she asks about her dreams or her path, the mirror provides clear guidance, and she’s come to trust it fully. But when she dares to ask, “Salamin, ano ba talaga ang kasarian ko?” the mirror shows her something different: memories instead of a direct answer. Through these visions, Celine revisits her childhood, teenage years, and young adulthood. As a child, she sees herself happily embracing her feminine identity. As a teen, she starts to realize her attraction to other girls, causing her to question the labels others place on her. By early adulthood, Celine is asking her friends to use they/them pronouns, feeling that neither “girl” nor “boy” completely fits. The mirror finally returns to the present, showing only her reflection—silent, with no clear answer. In this reflective journey, Celine learns that gender is not a fixed concept; rather, it’s fluid and ever-evolving. The mirror doesn’t provide a single answer because gender itself is a journey that changes and grows. Ultimately, Celine understands that she is free to define her own identity, unrestricted by rigid labels. "Salamin, Salamin. Kailan Ako Magiging si Celine" is a tale about embracing one’s evolving identity, learning that true self-acceptance means being open to change, and realizing that gender is a personal journey, as unique and dynamic as the person living it.
