In follow-up to the first (Which Reminds Me of a Story), this book, Since You Asked, Here's a Story, is a second collection of short autobiographical anecdotes written for the "tween." Each is an entertaining true story of life as it happened to the author but told in a way and point of view that engages the younger reader! More importantly, the reader can relate to the timeless content of each story, which might be about emotions we felt at that age, finding what's fair and unfair, dealing with embarrassments and hurts, going through situations with family and friends, experiencing laughter and milestones, or overcoming special challenges, to name just a few. Many of the stories were originally presented orally in the classroom, meaning they were first told from time-to-time by Dr. Singh to his students. As with his students, don't be surprised if the reader will also begin to reflect on his or her own experiences in life, thus building on learning from personal memories!
