Emily Lim-Leh is an award-winning author of 50 children’s books. Her debut book Prince Bear & Pauper Bear was inspired by her journey of losing her voice to a disorder, which led to finding a God-given voice in writing. Emily was named Mediacorp’s Singapore Woman Award Honoree for inspiring readers and is a recipient of the Public Service Medal (Covid-19) for her informational children's e-picture books for the community. She hopes that this picture book can lend a little voice to some earth-loving and earthkeeping in our community. Emily blogs at Mum-Mum’s the Word.
