Growing up with Lee Kuan Yew

by Lawrence Koh Choon Teck
Growing up with Lee Kuan Yew - Thryft
Growing up with Lee Kuan Yew - Thryft

Comic insight into Singapore's legendary founding father.

If you're intrigued by personalities who have significantly shaped history, this graphic novel style approach to Lee Kuan Yew's life-story captures not just the public figure renowned globally but also the private individual with relatable human experiences. It's an engaging way to educate younger readers about political legacy blended with personal anecdotes, all while witnessing the transformation of Singapore through Lee's eyes. It's history, but not as you know it – accessible, visually appealing, and humanizing a towering figure.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Growing Up With Lee Kuan Yew aims to emphasise the contributions of Lee Kuan Yew to a younger generation of readers. Presented in a light-hearted comic-book style, this book features Lee’s political career and milestone events in Singapore, and also gives young readers a glimpse into Lee’s private life – his family, childhood, his school years, his courtship years, as well as his experience during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore. Growing Up With Lee Kuan Yew offers a good look at Singapore’s founding father as a boy, a student and a young man who was to become the leader responsible for steering Singapore towards nationhood and to its place of recognition in the world.
