Where Did Grandpa Go?

Where Did Grandpa Go?

Where Did Grandpa Go? was written for the child in all of us. In this simple and short story, a loving grandfather shares with his grandson what may happen when his time is up. Jointly written by DLF’s co-founder Darren and his journalist friend Andre Frois, this book was inspired by the most common question that little children ask at their grandparents’ wakes: “Where did grandpa/grandma go?”. Also available in Chinese.

I Remember Grandma

I Remember Grandma

I Remember Grandma is dedicated to those of us missing that special someone in our lives. For the girl in this story, grandma lives on through the family recipes that were passed down to her. This book pays tribute to the loving grandmothers who often cooked every dish from scratch at home, toiling in the kitchen to bring us soulful tastes that only they can create.
