Is bravery the absence of fear? Little Orangu is assigned his first errand ever! He is really scared about it; does that mean he isnโ€™t brave?

Join Orangu in a world of moving poetry and comforting illustrations as he discovers, with some help, what it really means to be brave.

Suitable for 4-7 year olds, poetry lovers and Punch fans.

Can familiarity be enchanting? We pass by many animals every day in Singapore. Peer into the secret lives of four common animals:

A community cat; king of the void deck. A curious chick; lost in the city. A young otter; separated from family. A rescue dog; courageous in intimidation.

Best for 8-9 year olds but hurried adults who want to slow down will love it too!

This event is a Public Programme at the Asian Festival for Children's Content.
