Why Do People Cry When They’re Happy? Jack Is Curious Book 2

This charming new series views the world from the inquisitive eye of a child; each book addresses a question that could stump many a parent.

Jack is a cheeky and curious boy who lives in Singapore. One day at the airport, he notices some travellers crying when they happy and others crying when they are unhappy. Aren’t tears supposed to be sad? “Why do people cry with they are happy?” he asks. Only Mama knows exactly how to answer—unconventionally.

"Very fresh and very personal. A mother sharing secrets with her son—and with the reader at the same time."
—James Lee, author of the bestselling Mr Midnight and Mr Mystery series

"I love her series, the illustration is very pretty and attractive…The story is very meaningful and it teaches children things we don’t really touch on."
—Sato, kindergarten teacher, Mindchamps @ Raffles Town Club.

"At the parent-teacher meeting, the teacher told me that the children loved the books. Easy to read on their own and the illustrations are very well done. After reading the children kept asking if they would grow old and what would happen to them."
—Adeline Tan, mother of a 5-year-old son and illustrator 

"Vera is loving her new book. She got all “emo” when she saw Jack cried asking, why he cried?"
—Mummy Judy
