Contest- Issue 32

In this issue, we are giving away three copies of The Hunt For the Green Boomerang.

A sequel to the award-winning Secrets of the Swamp, The Hunt for the Green Boomerang highlights the fascinating flora, fauna and heritage sites you can find on Pulau Ubin. Targeted at children from 10 to 14 years old, this riveting adventure aims to instil in them an appreciation of our natural environment and biodiversity, and remind them to do their part in shaping our City in a Garden – essential values embraced by The Ubin Project. 

The book is authored by Neil Humphreys and illustrated by Cheng Puay Koon, and was made possible with the support of HSBC through a donation to the Garden City Fund. 

Simply answer the questions below and you could be a lucky winner!
