Poor and Hungry in Singapore
The Good Character Club eBook Series (For Juniors Ages 4–7 Years Old)
Leo sits by the canal in Singapore, feeling lost and hungry with empty pockets. Everything changes when he meets Auntie May at her vegetable stall, who kindly shares a warm bun and reminds him that everyone needs a helping hand sometimes. Inspired by her generosity, Leo shares a piece of his food with Kopi, a stray cat, and begins helping Auntie May pack boxes at her stall. When the stall faces closure due to rising rent, Leo uses cardboard and markers to make bright, cheerful signs that draw a crowd of customers, saving the stall and starting a “Sharing Table” community food station.Written by Teacher Emil Antoan, this empowering story introduces young children to issues of urban poverty, food insecurity, and community support. It teaches early learners that regardless of their age or background, their creativity and kindness can bring people together and spark meaningful change.
