Constance Singam loves reading, writing, birds, trees and flowers. She spent many hours reading in the library when she went to school and university, even when doing her Masters’ degree.
Connie, as she is fondly known to family and friends, has written many books mostly for adults. These are about the history of Singapore women, about food, about cultural and social history. They are based largely on the work she has done over the years helping people, especially women, aiming to improve the lives of migrant workers and making life better for all of us in Singapore.
She demonstrates her versatility with words and sketches in this, her second children’s title.
