The Hymn of Leaves
From Chad Montero's artwork 'Sipol' comes โThe Hymn of Leaves,โ a heartwarming and rousing tale of solidarity, the power of song, and keeping true to oneself.
Written by Katrina Macapagal, โThe Hymn of Leavesโ is the winner of the 35th Romeo Forbes Children's Story Writing Competition held in November 2022, selected from 239 entries written by Filipinos all over the world.
Montero's works in this exhibition grace the pages of CANVASโs newest book, launching very soon.
The Hymn of Leaves is on view at Parola, until 31 July 2026.
