Jenny’s room is already filled with flowers, but her mother still isn’t home.

It’s the time of Martial Law when discipline is imposed as a requirement, they say, for progress. But for Jenny, it’s the time of separation from her mother.

Until when will she grow her paper garden?

Napupuno na ng mga bulaklak ang kuwarto ni Jenny pero wala pa rin ang nanay niya.

Panahon ng Martial Law, panahon ng pinaiiral na disiplina para daw sa kaunlaran. Pero para kay Jenny, panahon iyon ng pagkakalayo nilang mag-ina.

Hanggang kailan kaya sila magbubuo ng harding papel?

  • Chingwang

    The Artstyle was appropriate and cute for the storytelling

  • Cristal

    A moving story that depicts the harsh reality of martial law as experienced by an innocent child

  • Ana AZ

    This is a book from the #NeverAgain book bundle from Adarna House.

    It's a Filipino children's book about Jenny whose mom, Aling Chit, was imprisoned in Camp Crame during the Marcos Dictatorship. Jenny visits her mom often, and her mom gives her a paper flower after every visit.

    I thought this book was sweet and sad. The POV of the 7 year old child, Jenny, was done well. I was especially touched when she would try to remember all the good and fun things she did for the week so she could tell her mom on the next visit.

  • Majuchan

    Isa sa mga nagustuhan ko sa #NeverAgain Bundle... sinasaysay ang buhay ni Jenny, Lola Priming at aling Chit noong panahon ng Martial Law. Si Jenny ay nangungulila sa kanyang ina na naka-kulong sa campo. Tanging ang mga bulaklak na papel ang nagpapaalala sa kanyang ina.

    Maganda ang mga guhit na kakaaliwan ng mga bata at ang storya na hango sa nangyari noong panahon ng Martial Law.


  • The Duke

    Ang kwento ng iba habang at pagkaraan ng "Martial Law".
    Ngunit hindi lahat, mararanasan ang harding papel.

  • Annemarie

    For my future child/children so that he/she may never forget what happened during the darkest years in the history of the Philippines
