About the book

Journeys behind the craft

An illustrated book for readers aged roughly seven to ten, telling the journeys of four to six of Singapore's craftspeople alongside the detail of their work.

Each chapter follows one artisan: how they found their trade, who taught them, and what their hands know that no one else's do. The story of a family spice shop is the model for all of them.
