Basabi developed an interest in writing children’s books during her stints as a teacher of English. Her first three illustrated books were about the life and times of an adorable Maltese called Poochie who spent thirteen eventful years with her family. The character of Lottie is based on her pet Labrador Libby, who has a wide range of interests: chasing wild roosters, playing with squirrels and a neighbourhood cat, listening intently to family conversations and devising ingenious ways to wrangle tidbits during family mealtimes!

Though meant for children, I read the beautifully illustrated book 'Lottie at the Gallery' in one breadth. The gentle character of the Magic Palm introducing Lottie (in her dream) to the vast National Gallery of Singapore and the adventure therein added spice to the story. The vocabulary is rich. The kids may need help but that is the reward they get at the end. Use of rhymes made the description interesting for kids and grownups alike. Highly recommended.

A fun and entertaining book! What colourful characters. I simply love Lotti for taking me on a delightful tour around Singapore's rich art history. For someone who has hardly visited the National Gallery in the last 2-3 years, this book is truly educational and mesmerizing. I must commend the author for her creativity and for writing so beautifully. I highly recommend this book to ALL age groups. Simply breathtaking!
