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

His teacher, Ms. Carter, began talking about feelings, and Donovan’s excitement grew—soon his hands were flapping in the air! Some classmates noticed and wondered, "Why does Donovan flap his hands?" Ms. Carter smiled and said, "Everyone shows their feelings differently. Some people cheer, others jump, and Donovan flaps. That’s okay!" Donovan felt proud, knowing his flapping was just how he showed excitement. Then, Ms. Carter introduced a game called Superhero Breathing to help the class calm down when big feelings got too much. She stood tall, breathing in deeply and exhaling slowly. Donovan tried it too. He stood up, took a deep breath like a superhero, and felt his energy calm down, but he still felt strong. His classmates thought it was so cool, they joined in, practicing superhero breathing together. They learned that everyone expresses feelings in different ways, and that’s something special.
