 Fun At the Opera by Susanna Goho-Quek  Fun At the Opera by Susanna Goho-Quek  A lovely poster Susanna did for the Asian Festival of Children's Content (AFCC) in Singapore and which we have on a wall in our bookshop Coming soon, Susanna is completing a book full of her drawings. We promise you there will be lots of children. You can use the book for colouring, for doodling, for inspiration or for a giggle as you become a child again in Susanna's fun world. And if you like, we can organise a colouring class for adults (children allowed) at our bookshop with Susanna.   Sneak peak at Susanna's new book! Early November, Yusof Gajah and his wife, Zakiah, will be off to Basel, Switzerland for two weeks. Yusof has been invited by the wonderful Swiss publisher, Baobab Books who published the German edition of Yusof's Where is My Red Ball? first published by Oyez!Books. The German edition, called Wer hat den roten ball? is printed on environmentally friendly materials that are safe for very young children who love books so much they often try to eat them. From the Swiss press: »Elefanten sind groß, grau und haben Stoßzähne. Oder auch nicht. (...) Jeder von ihnen sieht aus, als könnte er sofort loslaufen und spannende Abenteuer erleben, gefährliche Situationen meistern, ganz besondere Dinge tun. Dafür sind die da. Sie locken in ihrer Pracht sich ganz andere Geschichten auszudenken, ganz eigene Fantasien zu entwickeln.« schreibt Andrea Wanner in Titel kulturmagazin.
Tutu's latest picture book, Phoenix Song, will be published by Lantana Publishing, UK. Oyez!Books is translating that book into Bahasa Malaysia for our local children to enjoy. It will be called Lagu Burung Jentayu. Or does anyone have a better translation? Let us know! Or are you a translator? Send us your CV and translation samples at contact@oyezbookstore.com
