Illustrator and author Patrick Yee (余广达), will read from his latest picture book The Story of the Redscarf. Written in a witty, light-hearted style and accompanied by eye-catching illustrations, it aims to introduce life of the previous generations to the young of today. Kids will be invited to connect with their roots by dressing up in Chinatown-themed costumes of Samsui women, ma jies (nannies) and coolies in the 1950’s. Bring your children along for a unique heritage experience and an unforgettable morning! Performed in Mandarin.

本地绘本作家余广达以细致、感人的画笔，创作了这本《辛苦了，红头巾》。此部绘本绘图精美，通过叙述红头巾在新加坡工作、生活以及落地生根的故事，让孩子们有机会了解早期新加坡人民和外来劳工的生活面貌。作者也希望通过红头巾的故事，向孩子们宣扬“刻苦耐劳，不怕吃苦”的精神。

余广达将和同学们玩人物扮演的游戏，除了教导小朋友们折红头巾之外，他也会让上台的小朋友扮演红头巾，穿越时空回到五十与六十年代。此外，他也将通过有奖问答，让小朋友们对所阅读的绘本有更深刻的印象。以华语进行。
