This Is the
Queue

A children’s book about Hong Kong life, as experienced through queues

Queues are everywhere in Hong Kong!

This Is the Queue showcases many types of queues, or lines, encountered in Hong Kong. Written in rhyming verse by a local author, Vanessa Ko, and joyously illustrated by a local artist, Vincy Cheung, the book is a love letter to all that is orderly and chaotic in the place they call home.

Queues featured in the book include:

Queues for food
Queues for lifts
Queues for shops

...and more!

You don’t have to be a kid living in Hong Kong to relate to This Is the Queue. It is designed to be enjoyed by grown-ups and non-Hongkongers alike. Makes a great gift for children, Hong Kong newcomers, leavers, and anyone nostalgic for the city’s quirks and culture.
