WHY LITTLE LIGHTHOUSE CLUB?

A small light.
A meaningful beginning.

Little Lighthouse Club began with a long-held dream: to share the meaningful old stories behind proverbs and sayings with a new generation of children.

Like a lighthouse, a good story offers a little guidance. We are creating illustrated books that families can enjoy together, with warmth, curiosity and room for a smile.

Thoughtfully retold. Joyfully shared.

BEFORE THE FIRST CHAPTER

A little more to know.

Are the books available yet?

Our first collections are in development. This website introduces the idea and creative direction. Publication dates, final titles and purchasing details will be shared here when ready.

Are Chinese and English in the same book?

They will be separate Chinese and English titles. Each collection will have its own stories, written naturally for its language.

Who are the stories for?

We are developing the proverb story collections with children aged around 5–8 and shared family reading in mind. Recommended ages will be confirmed for each finished title.

Will there be audio or cartoons?

Narrated and animated story companions are part of our development plans. Samples and access details will be announced when they are ready.

Can I use SG Culture Pass?

Culture Pass eligibility has not been approved. We intend to explore assessment for the finished books and will share confirmed eligibility and participating outlets if approval is obtained.

A new chapter is on its way.

Chinese stories. English stories. A little wisdom for growing minds.

STORY PREVIEW · CHINESE COLLECTION

画蛇添足

Adding feet to a snake

几个人比赛画蛇,谁先画好,谁就能喝那壶酒。

一个人很快画完了。他看别人还没画好,得意地说:“我还能给蛇添上脚呢!”

他正忙着添脚,另一个人画好了,拿起酒壶说:“蛇本来没有脚。你画的,还是蛇吗?”

酒被别人喝了,添脚的人愣住了。

A little meaning

Sometimes, adding something unnecessary can spoil what was already right.

A short draft retelling of a traditional Chinese tale associated with《战国策·齐策二》. Preview text and presentation may change.

THE ENGLISH COLLECTION

English sayings, told through stories

A separate collection, written naturally in English.

Each story will explore one saying through a character’s choices and the consequences that follow. Some proverbs have well-known associated tales; others will need a story written to illustrate their meaning.

We will distinguish traditional retellings from newly written stories and include source notes where appropriate.

Stories, illustrations and titles are in development.
