The Little Singapore Book

The Little Singapore Book (New Edition) is a fun-filled romp through Singapore’s history, from the 14th century to the present in four exciting chapters. It also presents the fascinating origins of neighbourhoods such as Chinatown and Little India, and a final chapter on Singapore culture

It was listed in the prestigious IFLA World Through Picture Books catalogue in 2023. Chloe Chang won the Illustrator of the Year 2024 award in Singapore for her art inThe Little Singapore Book.

A thoughtfully presented picture book that presents the history of Singapore in an ageappropriate
manner, with richly detailed illustrations that encourage visual exploration, discovery and conversation.
