Dear Tua Ee underscores the turbulent journey parents embark on when their first-born arrives. Authored from an infant’s perspective, the book charts Eng Seng’s parents experiences in attending to his needs from diaper changes, bottle feeds, baby food, toys, teeth, hair, fever, rash, lullabies that work, and more.
The book begins with a who’s who list of people Eng Seng encounters from birth to 24 months and it is told through a series of letters to his aunt Tua Ee, who lives in Brazil. It opens on the fourth day after his arrival as he recounts his parents’ obsession with photographing him from every angle although his eyes are still shut.
