Ping is always getting her older brother Ming's old toys, shirts and books. They are out of shape, out of style and mostly she just want to get them out of sight! Hand-me-downs are inevitable part of growing up for the younger children in a family, but Ping finds out that some things are better shared - like the book that was handed down.
The Book That Was Handed Down is the winner of the Hedwig Anuar Children’s Book Award 2011. The Hedwig Anuar Children's Book Award is presented biennially for an outstanding book for children written by a Singaporean or PR.
“ It’s a simple idea well executed, with a tightly written and charming story excellent illustrations and first-class book design.” — Ken Spillman, Chairman of Hedwig Anuar Award Judging Panel
