Review:
With its whimsical illustrations of round-faced children longkang-fishing and playing marbles, and soothing palette of greens and taupe, Farrer Park is a treat to leaf through. --Clara Chow, The Sunday Times
Through these playful poems, the people, places and childhood activities are given a colourful rendering, a reminder that while history is a thing of the past, remembrance is always new and immediate. --O Thiam Chin, Popclub Magazine
