This charming series views the world from the inquisitive eye of a child; each book addresses a question that could baffle many a parent.
Jack is a loveable, cheeky and curious boy who lives in Singapore. One night during story time, he notices wrinkles around Mama’s eyes and starts to worry: "What if I don’t recognise Mama one day? Will you grow old? Will I grow old too?" he asks. Only Mama knows exactly how to answer—unexpectedly.
