Letters to My Grandfather

JOANNA MANECKJI is a Singapore-based author, educator and artist who transforms seemingly random cutouts into expressive works of art that challenge perceptions, spark joy and promote understanding. Joanna made her first collage soon after her son began to walk and, in the process, discovered a meditative focus and calm. When her father died, she turned to collage again to work through grief. Fifteen years later, her debut storybook Letters to My Grandfather - simultaneously a gift of love to her father, her son Mikko and to readers who will delight in its tale - is a product of that journey.
