Starchild: What Malaysian children wish for their future


Ong Keat Hsin, 8

In a land filled with enchantment, there existed a magical hot air balloon named Sparkle. With its vibrant colours and shimmering fabric, Sparkle soared high above the clouds, carrying dreams and giggles wherever it went. But what made Sparkle truly extraordinary was its secret – a wondrous basket filled with wishes.

Every day, children from far and wide would gather around Sparkle, their eyes twinkling with hope. They would whisper their deepest dreams into the balloon’s soft, velvety fabric, believing in the magic it held. Sparkle would listen intently, capturing every wish within its mystical basket.
