The Three Hungry Microbes


A collaboration between Dorcas and Cuifen Pui, a compost artisan and sustainability advocate, “The Three Hungry Microbes”  is a children’s book inspired by Cuifen's experience making compost with students, community groups, and friends, and how children of all ages can care for life in soil ecosystems.

This book is supported by the Ministry of Sustainability and Environment’s SG Eco Fund.

Synopsis
Beneath the soil, a fascinating world awaits. Tiny microbes live in the soil. Sometimes, they get really hungry! What happens when we take the time to feed them? Join us as we journey underground to discover the magic that unfolds when we feed the soil and find out how they help us in return.
