Oyez!Books

Sure, one of the city’s beloved independent children’s publishers is a bit dog-eared, having operated since 2007 and published over 100 titles. But this small shop, tucked away in an obscure corner of the Bangsar Puteri condominium, proffers some of the most covetable picture books including illustrations by Jainal Amambing, Awang Fadilah, Emila Yusof and Khairul Azmir Shoib. Thanks to Oyez!, many local works have been translated overseas after gaining exposure in international fairs such as the Bologna Children’s Book Fair and the Frankfurt Book Fair; foreign books, likewise, have also been translated for the Malaysian crowd. You can find most of Oyez!’s titles in Silverfish Books, but if you’re seeking the latest, go straight to the source at Oyez!.
