The original book was published in Malay by Dewan Bahasa and won the 1996 Noma Concours Grand Prize in Japan. Oyez Books published the English version which proved to be very popular. This is the first ever big picture book by Oyez  aimed at teachers, storytellers, mums and dads who sit down and read to two or three children at a time. A young woman in the audience who used to be a teacher commeneted that it is an deal size for use by kindergarten teachers. 
  • Finally, we have Health, Wealth and Happiness illustrated by Chooi Keong. This is an accordion book with illustrations of auspicious symbols in the Chinese culture and a brief explanation with the name of the items in Chinese script.

Three of the books were in preview format, meaning they have not gone into mass production. We will be having more preview sessions in the future where we will invite the press and our buyers. The preview sessions will help us obtain feedback from the audience and to decide on the print run. 
​"In a rapidly developing market, such as children’s books in Malaysia,  Oyez books cannot stand still. We have to keep pushing the boundaries," said Mr Duke.
