The Silent Mountain: A Kalinga Folktale

A timeless legend from the mountains of the Philippines, retold for children ages 5–8.

High in Kalinga stands a summit where birds do not sing and even the insects fall quiet. This beautifully illustrated story shares the legend of Kaboniyan, the Great Creator, and the sacred silence of Mount Binaratan — inviting young readers to reflect on listening, respect, and the natural world.

Blending gentle storytelling with watercolor illustrations, activities, and cultural notes, this book introduces children to Indigenous wisdom rooted in place and tradition.

Perfect for families, classrooms, and meaningful read-aloud moments.
