Jin loves the aromas and the bubbly chatter coming from his kitchen. He loves to breathe in the bright citrusy notes of kaffir lime leaves and the zesty tang of lemongrass as his aunties float around as they dice, slice, and cook for the New Year. There's nothing he wants more than to learn about the history of his family's cooking, and lend them a helping hand. But his aunties try to shoo him away, claiming that he'll just get bored or be in the way. Luckily, his grandma intervenes and asks Jin to help her prepare their special New Year's dinner, creating a delicious tale filled with sweetness and spice that aims to warm the heart (and the stomach). A heartfelt celebration of family, honouring one's culture, and traditions, old and new.

Anya loves having special days with her mum and dad - rainy days, yellow days, stay-in-the-park for hour days. Then her younger sister is born and Anya finds herself feeling overlooked and forgotten. Why does Hana have to get all the attention? As her family is busy preparing for her younger sister’s 100-Day celebration, a Chinese tradition that commemorates an infant’s 100th day with good luck gifts and customs like the delectable ang ku kueh, red envelopes, and baby’s first haircut. As the day approaches, Anya learns to appreciate her baby sister, learning that sometimes love comes slowly, in days and moments that creep up on you, and hold onto you tightly - as tightly as a little sister can.

I created this poetry book in hopes of not only providing readers entertainment, but to give readers the chance to see inside the true, raw emotions of a writer's thoughts and feelings as they pour their heart and soul out into every bit of writing they've got, without the interference of multiple editors and a production of a well polished, well manufactured product. I hope you enjoy!
