Doll Eyes (Santos & Mallari, CANVAS) is a story about two street children whose lives briefly intersect with the grace of the Black Nazarene. It captures how faith, hope, and courage can emerge even in the most frightening circumstances. The story honors the mysticism of the Black Nazarene as epiphany, a moment of being seen, held, and protected, inviting young readers to recognize grace not as something distant or grand, but as something that arrives exactly when it is needed.
Doll Eyes shines a light on the quiet ways faith can move and redeem.
In 2014, Doll Eyes was awarded the National Children’s Book Award by the Philippine Board on Books for Young People and the National Book Development Board.
On this day, being the Feast of the Black Nazarene, and Epiphany, may our inner light lead us in discovering ways to be of service to others and to the community.
