2. Why do you think children should read? 
Children should read because it enriches vocabulary and imagination!

4. What is your favourite story and why? 
J’attends Mamy. I fell in love with this book when I saw the cover at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2014. Bought it right away. It was in French and thanks to online free translation, I managed to understand the story. The story is beautiful and poetic. A little girl’s granny leaves the house but she was told that her granny would be home soon. Waiting for granny to return, the little girl spends her time outdoors talking to the trees, ladybug, dragonfly and many more. One day, her father explains that her granny was dead, that she was not coming back. The girl eventually understands that a new phase of life begins; life without Granny. I personally love the illustrations which were done in pencil where some elements were tinted red. The illustrations really complement the story and there was a moment, or two, that I broke into tears.

5. Tell us something about yourself that no one knows. 
I am afraid of cockroaches! And all in the creepy-crawly category.

Emila Yusof will conduct an Activity session - Draw and Colour Beautiful Princesses and Brave Princes - on Wednesday, 1 June during Children's Book Week 2016 at the Concourse, Bangsar Village II.

Mark your calendars now and come meet Emila for some drawing and colouring fun.
