Jade's Quest for Her Heritage. I hope young readers will read this book because it has gorgeous art and an exciting plot. It is a story about friendship and the courage to change what is wrong with the world. It also celebrates our Singapore culture.

Start young. Read to them; then read with them; then read beside them. Hide the mobile phone.
