This is a Long post, but something dear to me. I hope you can share this post as well.
So I wrote a children’s story book.
It is about an ice cube who leaves the comfort of a freezer to journey across the world through sand and snow to find his idol-an iceberg. There is an awesome twist at the end!
I felt I needed to speak about this, this journey that is life and the human potential. And especially teach it to Jude early on, that his capabilities are only confined to his imagination. Credit to the awesome illustrator - Jade Fang who tirelessly worked on the way I wanted the book to present itself in my head and Candid Creation Publishing for publishing advice.
The children title has been picked for this years’ Singapore Writers Festival as well, and will debut on November 10th!!!

More importantly, I will be donating all book proceeds (all ,not nett) to Dignity Mama.
https://projectdignity.sg/dignity-mama/
Dignity Mama (under Dignity Kitchen from Seng Choon Koh’s Project Dignity Singapore) provides caregivers and young adults with special needs purpose a real business they can operate together. The caregivers at Dignity Mama ( usually the Mothers of these young adults) really are the true ice bergs of their families and society.
These proceeds will help go into the creation of a new kiosk that can employ another Mother and her child to operate a business.
Each book retails for SGD20.
And I have 1000 books on hand for sale.
I hope you can help me buy a book ( or many) and collectively raise SGD20,000 for Dignity Mama.
Alternatively, for those who simply want to donate, I will still provide you a book(s) but will send it off to MSF Singapore who will donate it to the underprivileged children they work with. Just drop me a WhatsApp or PM.
These books will also be available for purchase directly at Dignity Mama outlets and also Dignity Kitchen.
On 10th Nov, do come down and visit Dignity Mama and I on that day. The young adults will be making special themed gifts to go along with your onsite book purchase. It will be a fun time!
Be More, Little Ice Cube!
