Especially for fans of love stories comes a collection written by established and new authors. This anthology is partly inspired by true stories and partly by well-known epic tales. A young woman of Peranakan descent in Singapore, a Malayalee woman thousands of miles away from Singapore at the brink of WWII and an interracial couple in current times, all face a similar predicament – Do they break free from conventions and follow their beckoning hearts? A young man with no future nor prospects pines for his one true love in his kampong, a May-December couple’s plans for their second chance is threatened, a young impressionable woman falls for a man-child – Will fate give them a helping hand? What if Cinderella’s evil stepmother had loved her? What if the hundred nights of pursuit of the 10th-century Japanese court lady Ono Komachi took place in Singapore? What if a single decision, one moment or an unspoken wish changed your life forever?

Inspired by the author’s cat, A Noisy Day for Meow Meow is about a particularly noisy day in the life of Meow Meow. Through expressive drawings, a funny story told in rhymes that mimic the sounds of everyday objects, it teaches young readers how to identify different sounds around the house. This is the second in a series of three books by award-winning poet Felix Cheong that teaches children everyday concepts. The first book, A Busy Day for Meow Meow, relates time to everyday activities like play and meals. The third book A Playful Day for Meow Meow, teaches children how to use prepositions to describe movement.
