- Song of the Stars.

On one quiet night, creation whispered a secret. Grass and bees, robins and trees all spread the word. Sheep told their young while angels sang the song to the shepherds. Hushed news of a miracle echoed to the ends of the earth. The moment had come. The long-awaited child had arrived! Creation cried out in celebration, but only a few people heard. Only a few joined nature’s chorus, a song in praise of the newborn King.

‘I wish you always have something to celebrate’ ………. cute Christmas wishes mini booklet by Yaelfran. Lovely to give as a Christmas card or as a gift-tag with your Christmas present.

I like her collaborative coloring book project ‘WE ARE ….‘, a monthly publication that showcases Etsy’s artists illustrations in black for you to paint or just to keep as they are. There’s also her coloring pages with hundreds of different moms or girls – fun!

Closer to home (Kuala Lumpur), Amy from Pikaland has just launched her inaugural zine. Chotto Omoshiroi (A Little Fun) teaches the basics of Japanese language and is drawn by Tokyo-based artist Mogu Takahashi. Her whimsical characters should be a source of limitless fun while learning Japanese. Available in a limited edition set of 200 only. Also, they’re collaborating with First Book, a charity dedicated to eradicating illiteracy by providing books to needy children – one book will be given to a child for every book sold. Don’t wait now!

We like Okido, an art and science magazine for kids 3-7 because …..
- it’s educational and engaging
- it explains the fun of science through art and play
- it’s beautifully illustrated with contemporary art
- it has a series of charming, unforgettable characters to stir curiosity and inspire inventiveness
- it’s printed with vegetable oil ink on recycled paper so it’s super eco-friendly
….. and we think we’re the first online stockist for Okido in Malaysia. Come and get your copy/ies quick!
