A Boy Named Harry

A Boy Named Harry tells about the childhood of modern Singapore’s founder, Lee Kuan Yew, in language accessible to young children. Harry grew up in a country that is very different from what it is now, went to school in a one-room schoolhouse and although he was a natural in English, mathematics and science, worked hard to gain entry into the prestigious Raffles Institution. The book also relates Harry’s playful moments and shows the mischievous side of the boy who grew up to lead and build Singapore into a modern country.
