Wandering Off: A Children's Picture Book
Restless from making ads all day, Alan and I decided to write a children’s book. It all began when he handed me the Scholastic Picture Book Award flyer. I had never written a storybook before. Neither had he. But we decided to give it a go anyway. Never expecting to be a finalist, we were even more thrilled when my favourite childhood publisher wanted to publish it.
The book was written for adults as much as it was for the little ones. We hope that young parents would spot the familiar places and objects from their own childhood, and point them out to their kids while reading together. The story also cheekily pokes fun at the strict Asian parenting style, and puts a twist on the common do’s and don’ts that Mums and Dads tell their kids.
