Travel and Tourism Heritage: Where are you local?

A collection of essays, art and other media featuring people and places around Singapore drawn from The Birthday Book Jr. main collection.

The booklet, “Travel and Tourism Heritage: Where are you local?” features a selection of essays, artwork and photos from our Junior writers and contributors age four to 15.

It provides an insight of thoughts, experiences from children living in Singapore, their travels around their world, or what their “links” are with Singapore exploring the theme “Where are you local?” a phrase inspired by a TEDTalk by writer Taiye Selasi speaks on behalf of ""multi-local"" people, who feel at home in the town where they grew up, the city they live now and maybe another place or two.
