SG60 is flashing loudly in red and lights all around Singapore and there is a book “Singapore is 60” dedicated to the nation’s 60th birthday celebrations. If there’s a souvenir to get for a friend visiting or family overseas, and for remembering the year Singapore turns 60 – perhaps this is the book to purchase!
About Singapore Is 60: Celebrate with Us!
The vividly illustrated book is written by Sharon Koh and illustrated by Kristen Kiong. This is their second book, with the first being Let’s Celebrate NDP which is a great book for little ones to learn the happenings behind the scenes.
Singapore Is 60 highlights all the uniquely Singaporean icons – from food, places of interest, wildlife, MRT stations, art, traditional games and songs.

It gives families a chance to talk about Singapore as their beloved nation and appreciate all of what we love about Singapore! It’s not easy to put everything down in a picture book and both Sharon and Kristen did an awesome job stringing all of what we share.
Kids will also love looking through the illustrations which showcase details of heritage sides, flora and fauna, as well as our favourite hawker dishes.
There is also a pop quiz at the back which reveals how much we know (or not) about our Singapore!
