Author Description

The worlds of nursery rhymes and Singapore hawker food collide in this book. Dive into fractured nursery rhymes with a local twist, featuring Singapore hawker food. Imagine Humpty Dumpty enjoying kaya toast, Jack and Jill grilling satay on a hill, and the three blind mice eating chicken rice at the hawker centre. Cheeky illustrations highlight aspects of Singapore hawker culture that children will relate to and have fun identifying. With Hawker Culture in Singapore successfully inscribed as Singapore's first-ever element on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural of Humanity in late 2020, this timely book is set to entertain and educate children on this key aspect of national identity. And, Augmented Reality (AR) elements embedded in this book promise to bring the stories of hawker food alive through interactive multimedia features!
