Growing Up in Kampong Potong Pasir 
Josephine Chia's first book for young readers to understand kampong life in Singapore in the 1950s and 1960s.
There were no taps in the houses, no electricity and the bathroom or bilek mandi was outdoors. Find out how a tin of Milo and packets of nasi lemak started Josephine on her schooling and career as a writer.  

Big Tree in a Small Pot 
Privileged, sensitive and smart, Eric Teo learns by accident that he has a Peranakan grandmother. Rajah – thoughtful, unflappable and visually impaired – lives modestly with his music-loving family. When the two boys meet, each brings with him something the other must learn, and a friendship is forged that will change them both. Big Tree in a Small Pot explores the meanings of friendship, family, loss and the values we live by.
