Dear Tua Ee

Being a first baby is hazardous.

The book is a hilarious guide on how to survive the serious business of babyhood and parental naiveté, written from the perspective of a newborn. In a series of letters to his aunt in Brazil, Baby Eng Seng pokes fun at the anxiety, the joy, the confusion and the pride experienced by his bumbling parents, Papa and Mama.

At once innocent and astute, “Dear Tua Ee” brings humour and wit to subjects of growing up that every parent can identify with. Its lessons give all first-time parents hope—babies do eventually turn out fine, in spite of the parental trials (and errors) in their early years.
