Oyster Girl is a charming celebration of family ties and a tribute to the author's late grandma, who was a hawker known for her Hokkien oyster cakes. The story transports readers back to Hui'an, China, where the grandmother harvested oysters and sailed to Nanyang for a better life. The book offers a glimpse into Singapore's pioneering past and its diverse hawker heritage, which is listed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It features lush full-colour illustrations and is suitable for children from four years old. The narrative also explores Singapore's cultural history and hawker traditions.
