    About this ebook

    --Winner, Hedwig Anuar Children's Book Award 2013--
    --Selected for the National Library Board's READ! Singapore 2012--
    Luke is a little different from other boys his age. His best friend is his Grandma. They would do everything together—walking to school, strolling in the park, and playing in the playground. That was before Grandma's fall. Everything changed after that. She lost her way in the neighbourhood she has lived in for over twenty years. She even forgot Luke's name. Edmund Lim tells a poignant story of how one boy copes with losing his beloved Grandma to Alzheimer's disease only to discover something more powerful. Tan Zi Xi's sensitive illustrations capture the pathos brilliantly.

      Where's Grandma? - Edmund Lim W.K

      The Fall

      Grandma, where are the keys? I asked.

      They’re in the second drawer of the cabinet, she replied, smiling.

      I knew I could count on Grandma’s help. I went to the cabinet, pulled open the drawer and rummaged through its contents.

      I found them! Let’s go to the park now.

      Alright, give me a minute, she said as she shuffled to get her walking stick.

      Thin and tall, Grandma walked slowly but steadily to the door. I held her arm as we walked towards the lift and kept the door open as Grandma tottered inside.

      For the past month, we had not been to the playground. Instead, we went to the neighbourhood park. For fifteen minutes every day, we would stroll together so that Grandma could get some fresh air and light exercise.

      Grandma has always stayed with us. She lives with Dad, Mum and me in our four-room apartment in Toa Payoh. Grandpa passed away when I was a baby. In the day, Grandma used to take care of me because Dad and Mum had to work.

      Grandma was a wonderful cook. She made lunch for both of us. I could eat two big bowls of Grandma’s delicious potato curry. I will never forget the smell of the curry and her tasty, chewy home-made ang ku kueh—absolutely mouth-watering.

      When I was little, Grandma took me
