Denise spent 6 years working with Bookaburra Books and a few years before that studying Mass Communications and English Literature. She spends most of her time reading but of course, that is her job.

Because we grew up accompanied by magical stories and continue to believe in the power that lies between the pages of a book, we would love for as many kids as possible to have the same. We know that there isn't a child in the world who can do without a book and that every child can become a super-duper voracious reader.
With that as a mantra, we visit schools with a vast and specially-curated selection of picture books, early readers, novels, non-fiction titles and graphic novels for book fairs and extend superlative library consultancy services. And since we relish any opportunity to go on about books, we quite happily conduct workshops for parents and teachers about reading for pleasure and growing a child's reading repertoire.
Closetful of Books is also the distributor of some fantastic children's literature and because we enjoy basking in the company of really talented and dedicated authors, we offer editorial and marketing services too. (Site Excerpt)
In the world of technology that we live in today where children spend more time in front of screens than in the real world, we want to encourage our children to imagine for themselves fantastical worlds of wonder through the magic of reading that only a physical book offers. Because that is our goal, we are also big advocates of reading aloud to children. And that is the reason why we also have a section curated just for parents to help them choose the right books for their child and pick up tips and tricks about reading aloud.
At the end of the day, our ultimate goal is to provide a diverse collection of local and global children's books at affordable prices for Singaporean families. (Site Excerpt)
