“Star light, star bright, First star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have this wish I wish tonight!”
Question 1 of 10
As the stars in the night skies twinkle,
your eyes grow
heavy…
Just then, you hear a little voice squeak:
“And? What’s it, then? What’s your wish?
Immediately, you jump up in surprise. A little pink
frog
is staring at you from the windowsill.
Got a frog in your throat? Hahaha,” it
croaks.
My name is Katak. Nice to meet you!”
What is your name?
Question 2 of 10
Hello Jane,
it’s too lovely outside to stay in bed! Come join me
for
an adventure instead.
“Good choice!” Katak says.
”I
promise you will have lots of fun.
Come along now.”
The frog leaps across the room and stops by the door. “Go on,” it says. “Open the door.”
Open The Door
Question 3 of 10
You scramble out of bed and open the door. Sunlight floods into the room and you step into a magical garden filled with roses, orchids, lavender flowers and sunflowers.
As you look around in wonder, you notice that the sunflowers are dying.
You have the power to make a difference,"Katak says. “Just make a wish.”
“Oh, come along!” Katak
pleads.
“I promise you will have lots of fun.”
The frog leaps across the room and stops by the door. “Go on,” it says. “Open the door.”
Open The Door
Question 3 of 10
You scramble out of bed reluctantly and open the door. Sunlight floods into the room and you step into a magical garden filled with roses, orchids, lavender flowers and sunflowers.
As you look around in wonder, you notice that the sunflowers are dying.
You have the power to make a difference,”Katak says. “Just make a wish.”
Question 4 of 10
Your wish comes true and the garden is saved! “Thank you. You have been most helpful,” Katak grins happily. “Now look what my friends have prepared!”
A table loaded with curry puffs, prata and more suddenly appears, along with a rabbit dressed in a sarong, a mousedeer with a smart bowtie and a scaly pangolin leaning on a walking stick. They weren’t there before!
“Pick your seat,” the pink frog says. The table is surrounded by the most unusual “chairs.”
Question 5 of 10
You sit down and immediately, your “chair” gently floats up, then glides into the clear blue skies like a magical carpet!
Question 6 of 10
WOOSH, WOOSH, WOOSH! PLOP, PLOP, PLOP, THEN THUD!
Your “chair” has disappeared, and you have landed on your bum in a forest lush and green. There is a fantastical creature peering down at you.
It has hair like a lion’s mane, a giant trunk like an elephant’s and tiger stripes all over its body. It looks quite scary—until it breaks out into a wide smile.
“Welcome!” the creature says kindly.
Question 7 of 10
“Why, thank you for that!” it says.
“You must be . Call me Imaginasi. You must be hungry after your travels. Come to my humble house for a little snack.”
At Imaginasi’s beautiful house built on stilts, it brings out a tray laden with traditional Southeast Asian snacks.
Question 8 of 10
You take a bite of your snack. It is very yummy and you finish it quickly. As you reach out for seconds, your eyelids grow heavy and… poof!
Imaginasi and its house disappear in a puff of smoke. You find yourself falling in a hole lit by brightly coloured globes that are soft and bouncy.
Boing, boing, boing. Down and down you go.
Question 9 of 10
Phew! Safe landing! As you scramble to your feet, you hear a familiar voice.
“Fancy meeting you here!” Katak bounds up with a big wide grin. “Didn’t I promise you lots of fun?”
“But it’s time to go home now,” the little pink frog says. “Let’s take a ride on the water.”
Question 10 of 10
You jump on quickly. You can’t wait to get home and tell Mummy and Daddy about all your adventures and introduce them to Katak.
But wait, you turn around and the pink frog has disappeared once again. Around you, it grows quiet as the sun sets.
There is a sudden breeze and you close your eyes for just a second. When you open your eyes again, you see Mummy by your bed. She was reading you a bedtime story. Was it all a dream?
“And what’s the wish you wish tonight, my little one?” she asks softly.
You scrunch up your face and think hard…
“That tomorrow, I will be ….”
A dream is like a picture or a movie created in your mind. We often dream while sleeping, but we can also dream while we are awake. We can use our imagination to dream up anything we like, and we can also dream about our future!
Tomorrow we’ll be… A fireman? An artist? An astronaut? Just as your imagination helps you create art, what you dream about today can lead to amazing things you do years from now. Your dreams can help you to shape your future.

Joy is a warm feeling that sits deep in our hearts and bubbles up when we delight in something that is meaningful and special to us. It is also about being in the present and feeling happy and thankful with what we have.
Joy may not make us laugh out loud, but it certainly makes our hearts smile and feel grateful.

Would you ask a shy new classmate to join you for recess? Would you give up your seat to an old person on the bus or train? If your answer is “yes,” you are being kind!
If we were all kind to each other, wouldn’t our world be a nicer place to live in? Don’t forget to be kind to yourself too. Do things that make you happy. Ask for help when you need it and surround yourself with family and friends who support and love you.

What does love look like? It could be your mummy waiting to bring you home from school every day, when your friends surprise you with a birthday card, or when your pet snuggles up to you at home.
We love our family. We can love an object like our favourite soft toy. We can love a place, like our home, and we can love animals too!
Love makes us feel happy, valued and safe. Love is a two-way street. We receive love and we also give love.
Discover the many different ways you can experience love by visiting Vicente Delgado’s I WE THEM and Home is Where the Heart Is (inspired by Mohammed Salehuddin’s Malay House, Malacca) at Gallery Children’s Biennale!
