STORY-TELLING time took on a special meaning when Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah of Perak and his consort, Raja Permaisuri Perak Tuanku Zara Salim, sat down with a group of children at the National Cancer Society of Malaysia’s (NCSM) Home of Hope to read a page out of Sleep Book, a classic by Dr Seuss.

The title was chosen by Sanjit Chandran, 10, a leukaemia patient who had been staying at the centre for a week.
