Oyez!Books To Publish Picture Book On How Technology Connects

Oyez!Books will be publishing a new picture book that addresses how families who are living in different parts of the world can connect using technology. The new book, titled Hello Cyber Grannie, is written by Jane Tyrrell and illustrated by Lee Kowling. 

Jane Tyrrell who lives in the Blue Mountains outside  Sydney, Australia, has two children (and three  granddaughters) who live in the UK and Germany . While she travels annually to visit them, when she’s back in Australia Jane  stays connected with them via the internet. She even reads to her eldest granddaughter that way. It's no substitute for warm grannie but sometimes, Cyber Grannie will just have to do!

Lee Kowling lives in Singapore and is a much sought-after illustrator who has illustrated more than 30 books with her works featured in Stories from Asia - The Asian Children’s Literature Collection. She is passionate about children’s books and is inspired by people, friends and animals in her life when she paints. 

Oyez!Books is a children's book publisher based in Malaysia that  has published a number of award-winning picture books. The publishing house is active internationally and it was at the Asian Festival of Children's Content in Singapore that the publisher was introduced to the illustrations of Lee Kowling.

Hello Cyber Grannie will be published in mid July 2016.
