Little People, Big Dreams - Martin Luther King Jr

 📚 📚 📚 

A book to read with your little one, giving them a glimpse of the world. 


Little Martin’s friend invited him to play at his house but was shocked when friend’s mother wouldn’t let him in because of his skin colour,  he is black. That day he realized there was something terribly unfair going on in the community, the segregation that was happening in USA, where there are separate spaces for black and white peoples at public spaces. Martin promised that when he grew up, he will fight injustice peacefully, with the most powerful weapon of all: words. He encouraged people all over the country to stand up for their rights and join in with peaceful protest. And when the story of a black woman, Rosa was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on bus, Martin speaks up, asking his community not to take bus until the law has changed, that’s the first civil right movement in the country. Many citizens were inspired by Martin, he became the youngest to win a noble peace prize; his words of hope, peace and justice make a difference. 


Martin has a dream. He dream of a world where everyone are judged by their character, not by the colour of their skin, and that dream should be kept alive. 


I read this book to my kids a couple of months ago. While explaining to them on the hate and unfairness acts towards the black people (racism), the ideas of civil rights and activist; and most importantly, words are the most powerful weapons; I also got them to understand, one shouldn’t remain silent and just accept it, if it’s wrong. Even when we thought our action is of little effort, even when we are scared of the bullies, we ought to do the right thing.

Well, almost every single one except the mud pit which got them in a little bit of a sticky situation. There are moments which I’d love not to forget, moments that my kids made me so proud of myself as a mother 😂  We joint the open category for age 4 to 6, which K is 6y2m and D is 4y8m. They have been quite an active kids, of course I have no doubt in their capability to finish the challenge. However, they do surprise me with their team spirits and sharpness at taking down each obstacles.  K shows her determi...

Tips: Hiking

Hiking with kids can be tough but we did it anyway, because it’s one of the best way to show kids the right way to care and love the nature. Of course, there are times where kids get worn out, feel bored or throw tantrums; but they develop new skills like observing plants and livings in nature, experience independence and trained physiques when they spend time outdoors.  However, heading into the nature with children requires some planning and prep;  1. Right clothing and gear. Layers of clothes so you could adjust for changing temperatures, weather and condition. Closed-goes shoes that fit well. Accessories like hat and sunglasses  2. Stock up your backpack.  Filled up with snacks for kids (something they’ll look forward to), plenty of water, sunscreen and bug repellent. Consider to let your young children like mine (4.5yo and 3yo) bring 1 of their favourite toy if it makes them feel better about the hike. And not forget the first aid kit stock with bandage, bite an...

The old school playground - Holiday Farm

Proclaim: I am not advertising for them, I am not paid to do this. This is just my review, my sharing, my experience.  Note: Mask on face at all time! Even when we are doing activities. Be safe, and don’t give a reason for these facilities to be forced to close too.  Holiday farm is a family run, educational and interactive farm situated in Sheung Shui. It promotes green culture and environmental friendly lifestyle hence being there do make you feel closer to the nature; especially with their originality on play equipments. Last holiday, we took kids to Holiday Farm. Honestly, it’s an exciting place to be, we have a wonderful day, from 10 to 5pm 👍 Kids love everything they saw! The treehouse slides, the horses riding made with recycled materials, the barrel slides, the “carpets” slides, each of these gave so much fun and create unforgettable memories.  The activities are divided into 2 categories, the generals (include botanic gardens, boat through the pond, rickshaw, gr...
