This charming new series views the world from the inquisitive eye of a child; each book addresses a question that could stump many a parent.
Jack is a cheeky and curious boy who lives in Singapore. One night during storytime, he notices wrinkles around Mamaâs eyes and he starts to worry: âWhat if I donât recognise Mama one day? Will you grow old? Will I grow old too?â he asks. Only Mama knows exactly how to answerâunconventionally.

"Very fresh and very personal. A mother sharing secrets with her sonâand with the reader at the same time."
âJames Lee, author of the bestselling Mr Midnight and Mr Mystery series"Paul loves the books. He can relate to the character because he has a dog and is an only child. Also, he loves the illustrations and how the story is interpreted, like how the beard is overflowing everywhere."
âAdeline Tan, illustrator and mother of a 5-year-old sonÂ"Jai loved it the first time I read to him. He saw himself (only child, loves trains and TV) and asked me to read Will I Grow Old? the second night because he loves tickles too!"
âMummy Bao"T found one hair growing on his leg the other day. He excitedly came to me to say I am growing old like dad."
âMummy M"Last night, Will I Grow Old? made it to the top of Emilâs bedtime storybook list."
âAnna Bervander, designer and mother of twin boys -
