Author/ Illustrator: 蔡兆伦
From: Taiwan
An award winning Chinese picture book by acclaimed author, Cai Zhaolun, this book allows children to experience what it’s like to be visually impaired. The author makes clever use of black and white to outline images with simple but contrasting lines. The overall picture design of this book is unconventional. He described an "invisible" boy who was walking ‘blindfolded’. The boy’s monologue revealed all kinds of invisible feelings ranging from fear, anxiety, tension to confusion, which stemmed from his inability to see. When we can't see, the movement of our body slows down. On the contrary, our other senses become heightened to make up for the lack of visual ability. Finally, when the little boy uncovered his eyes, what appeared in front of him was a colourful park. The ingenuity of the author in using vivid colour contrast lets children subtly experience what visual impairment is like, and lets them appreciate the beauty of sight and maybe they’ll develop empathy for visually impaired people. Suitable for children and even adults of all ages.

Grace Series | Grace 说系列 (全3册）
SGD 35.90
Author / Illustrator: Eric Liao 廖树清
学会专心，让你享受好开心！
学会耐心，让你等待不着急！
学会恒心，让你坚持不放弃！
This is an excellent 3-book series that discusses about traits and virtues of concentration, patience and perseverance from the perspective of a little girl named Grace. Author-illustrator, Eric Liao identifies each character trait with a key attitude or behaviour that gets repeated throughout the book which helps to reinforce the understanding. Through the nurturing guidance of her daddy, Grace is able to put what she learned to practice in her daily life as well as school.
Eric superbly explains these important yet somewhat abstract character traits using very simple text and drawing examples that are easy to understand. The repetitive echoing of the key attitude or behaviour attributed to the character traits will be etched in the minds of the young readers by the time they finish the series. Highly recommended for 3yo and up.
