Appeal: Inspiring tale of breaking boundaries and persistence.

"Little Pioneers" is a heartwarming story that follows the struggles of Chun and her family in Singapore during the early 20th century. The book beautifully captures the courage and determination of Chun as she fights for her right to education, while also giving insights into the cultural and societal constructs of the time. The unique and distinctive feature of the book is its ability to show the power of perseverance and the importance of family support in achieving one's dreams. I highly recommend it to readers who enjoy inspiring tales of breaking boundaries and persistence.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Chun lives in a shophouse on Telok Ayer Street where bullock carts and rickshaws clatter by. Her blissful life with her family and her beloved grandmother is upset by a man who looks Chinese but doesn't dress like one. He tells her father that Chun and her sisters should go to school. Mother firmly disagrees. Chun turns to her wise grandmother for help, but she keeps strangely quiet. To make matters worse, the cook’s assistant, Boh Gnee, gives Chun the creeps —he is always staring at her. One day, he surprises her with something that changes both their lives.
