Just got back from KLCC to see the book promo display done by Linda Tan Lingard with the help of CutOut Magazine in constructing Jainal Amambing’s Longhouse.

Me looking at me 😀

Jainal’s Longhouse

This promotion features mainly on Jainal Amambing, our renown illustrator who has won  The Noma Concours awards, namely Second prize in 2006 and 2000; runner up award in 2004 and 2002 as well as The Encouragement Prize in 2008 and 1998. The main feature is his new picture book, Longhouse Days as well as other books include The Proud Butterfly and The Strange Tree and The land Below Wind.

Another featured illustrator isthe famous one and only Yusof Gajah. Pak Yusof has recently written and illustrated 5 new cute picture books in a box. Each book is a treasure that teaches children basics such as shapes, colours and numbers. You might want to get and keep them even if you’re not a child – they are beautiful and ingenious – as only Yusof Gajah can produce! Other books of him includes Elephabet, Mother & Child, Elephabet Amazing Activity Book and The Real Elephant.

My book, My Mother’s Garden, is also being featured along with those books by the two famous illustrators and I am truly honoured to be given the chance. My new flashcard pack featuring flowers’ little guardians will be there in few days time. Will update the status soon as I got the news from Linda.

Do drop by at Kinokuniya KLCC if you happen to be there. The promotion has started already two days ago. [Not sure until when, but I’ll put in the date here soon as I found out]

On August 24, I contributed my Hari Raya illustration for IM magazine (print version) and few days ago, I’ve got mail with 3 free copies of the magazine! Tadaa! Sasha Bashir is the cover story, how cool!

I might be featured in the next issue. Will let you know when it happens.

I got to know about this write-up only after Pak Yusof tagged me in his facebook. By that time, it was already evening and it was a bit too late for me to go out for the newspaper hunt. I believe I would not find any as NST sells quite well.

I need to keep a hardcopy of the write-up for my archive. Do you have a copy of NST of 8 August 2010? It’s under Life and Times section. If you do, please drop me a-line at emila@emilayusof.com. I can send you a self address envelope with stamp and will also send you a token of appreciation.

Thanking you in advance!
