This is a collection of essays from a nationwide essay writing competition in the adult category held in Singapore, a country which promotes multiracial harmony. Coupled with photographs, these moving and endearing essays serve as an interesting read to open the mindset of children to the Asian cultures and enable them to relate to someone close to their hearts - their grandparents. The book contains reflections spanning three generations - the hopes, dreams and wonders of the younger generation communicated to their grandparents. It connects the old and young and preserves the oral history and heritage of Singapore that would otherwise be lost. These letters and stories attempt to preserve the heritage and important values and beliefs that make us who we are today.
