kidsREAD 20th Anniversary Celebrations
Illustrator Dhanendra Poedjono and I were honoured to join in kidsREAD’s 20th-anniversary celebration at the National Library in August 2024. President Tharman and Ms Jane Ittogi read The Noisiest Tree alongside kidsREAD alumni Murthaiyan Rudrapriya and Chew Yit Sim. A copy of Just a Little Mynah was also included in the gift bags prepared for beneficiaries.
We are grateful to alumni volunteers who guided children through the Little Mynah craft activities, and helped make the day especially warm and memorable.
