The funeral
Par Matt James. 2018

From the stars in the sky to the fish in the sea
Par Kai Cheng Thom, Wai-Yant Li, Kai Yun Ching. 2017
In the magical time between night and day, when both the sun and the moon are in the sky, a…
child is born in a little blue house on a hill. And Miu Lan is not just any child, but one who can change into any shape they can imagine. The only problem is they can't decide what to be: a boy or a girl? A bird or a fish? A flower or a shooting star? At school, though, they must endure inquisitive looks and difficult questions from the other children, and have trouble finding friends who will accept them for who they are. But they find comfort in the loving arms of their mother, who always offers them the same loving refrain: "whatever you dream of / i believe you can be / from the stars in the sky to the fish in the sea."
