The magic of this book is in its simplicity!

Left page: Who lives here?
Right page: A colourful door and a pair of shoes.

That's all it takes to turn bedtime into a detective story! Kids get to guess who's inside!

Out August 7th!

Moving to Hong Kong meant stepping into w world where every doorstep tells a story - literally!

Seeing rows of shoes tucked neatly outside front doors turned my brain in to a full-blown guessing game. Who lives there? A dancer? A firefighter? A giant?

That daily hallway curiosity became "Who lives here?" launching August 7th!

Title: Pride and Prejudice
Author: Jane Austen
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Embarrassed to say that this is the first time I have read it but I loved it! And as a cherry on top I watched the Keira Knightley movie version (cause I haven't watched that either) and how wonderful an adaptation that was.

I've been keeping a secret behind 9 colourful doors...

My new picture book: "Who lives here?" launches on August 7th!

It's a guessing-game story where the shoes as clues leads to big imaginations and big stories!

One of those books I had to stop and pause after every chapter and just stare out of the window. Exceptional book.

In Greek mythology, Helen of Troy was born from an egg after Zeus, in the form of a swan, assaulted her mother Leda. Mythological figures aren’t bound by race or realism. Read before you rage.

Title: When Everyone Knows that Everyone Knows...
Author: Steven Pinker
Rating: ⭐️⭐️
It is a well-written book. Apt title for a controversial author. I didn't enjoy it all. Perhaps it would be better as an audiobook.
