'I went to the shops and bought...' has been a popular listening game for families for hundreds of years. Besides teaching children the rules for taking turns, this traditional past-time helps with memory and can be an invaluable aid to socialization. It is certainly one of my family's favorite go-to activities on long car trips and before bedtime, and I can testify that it brings our family closer together.

So, it was little wonder that when the time came to create the first ever Baba Malay Reader that I fell back on an old and trusty treasure.

Gua Pi Keday or I went to the Shops, is now being used to teach the Peranakan vocabulary (kata-kata) and to introduce beginners to the 22 letters that compose the Baba Malay alphabet. Fun, educational and challenging: a new tool in the introduction of our beloved Baba Malay language.

The first book in the series New Peranakan Tales created to complement the Baba Malay Today series.
