Children’s Book Giveaway: Boys Don’t Fry

Jin wishes his family would ask him to help prepare the Lunar New Year feast. But boys, or Babas, never get asked – only Nyonyas, the girls.

makchic’s Managing Editor (and proud Nyonya), Kimberly Lee’s latest children picture book, Boys Don’t Fry, is a tale of Jin, a young Peranakan boy who wants nothing more than to learn about his family’s cooking. However, when Jin wants to enter the kitchen, his aunties don’t welcome him in as they feel he will get in the way. Luckily, his grandmother, Mamah steps in and allows Jin to squeeze, slice and stir away, and help prepare their special family meal!

With vibrant illustrations of Peranakan culture, this hardcover book is a heartfelt celebration of family, culture, and traditions – both old and new. There is also an heirloom recipe of a popular Peranakan dish at the back of the book for you to try with your family at home.

Stand the chance to win this book and be one of the first in Malaysia to own it!
