  "account": "The Courage To Be You, a picture book by 33-year-old Ranie Pang, aims to protect young minds from developing insecurities. Inspired by her six-year-old goddaughter's early self-doubt, Pang's debut work reminds children (and their caregivers) that their worth is not determined by outcomes. Available for $22 from various retailers, the book chronicles the journey of young Riley and the fears she faces. In parallel, the ArtScience Museum's VR experience \"David Attenborough’s First Life\" transports families back 3.5 billion years to witness the origin of life on Earth. Narrated by the iconic presenter, this 15-minute adventure showcases prehistoric creatures like the five-eyed opabinia and the fearsome anomalocaris. Though designed for children aged 11 and above, the free walk-in activities in the ArtScience Laboratory, located at the museum's basement 2, are open to all daily from 10am to 6pm.",
