        Our picture book "You Are Not My Mother", about a young girl who had lost her mother and trying to  adapt to the new  lady in the family, was translated into Korean and sold in Korea.   "How to be a Big Good Wolf" is  our latest picture book based  on a series of illustrations that had won the illustrator "The ASEAN  Children's Book  Illustrator Award of Excellence". Through one of our projects, Storymakers League, we have a talented group of young Asian authors ages 18 and below  (from 9 countries) who have written stories for us to publish. The anthologies and  novels written by them  are perfect for school libraries around the world. We are constantly on the look out for more young authors around the globe, nurture them and have them write for their peers wherever they are. We are also looking for distributors worldwide to get these books into  libraries at schools to inspire  more kids to appreciate the written word and encourage them to  start writing stories too.

      • Yellow Book

        by Zeshan Shakar

        Mani is a recent economics graduate and has just got a job at the Ministry of Childhood and Adolescence. He’s a young man who lives with his father in an apartment in Haugenstua, a 1960s tower-block development in north-eastern Oslo, and he has a girlfriend he thinks he’s going to marry. He would have preferred to put his skills to use in the private business sector, where prestige and money count, since he is painfully aware that both his girlfriend and the environment around him only see the “public sector” with disdain. It doesn’t pay well either. His new working life implies adjusting to a new set of values in which an old apartment in the city’s old town is coveted more than Mani’s new, expensive apartment in Skillebekk, and in which Mani’s regular kebab shop is “genuine” and ranks higher than the Theater Café. At the same time, Mani becomes a proud contributor to the great common project called The State. Yellow Book is a novel about class and belonging, about the lives we live and what frames them. It is also a tale about where we come from and where we’re going. It’s a long way from Haugenstua to the heart of government.
