While all the books are special to her, Mohana's Myanmar book is a homecoming for her as she was born and brought up in Myanmar. The book contained not only recipes but also photographs of places in Myanmar. Mohana also had the pleasure to launch her book during the Myanmar Literary Festival in February this year at the Monument Bookstore.

The book was also launched in Kuala Lumpur at the beautiful Carcosa Sri Negara where guests were served specially prepared Myanmar cuisine with recipes from the book. His Excellency U. Tha Aung Nyun, Ambassador of the Union of Myanmar in Malaysia launched the book. Special guests include Mr Ramachandran, Executive Director of the National Book Development Council of Singapore, family members and friends.

May 2014. The Yusof Gajah Lingard Literary Agency will be exhibiting at the 21st Tokyo International Book Fair from 2-5 July where Malaysia will be the Theme Country. The Malaysian team comprising 20 Malaysian companies and organisations will be led by the Malaysian Institute of Translation & Books (ITBM).

ITBM has organised a number of activities during the fair including book launches by Datuk Lat and Yusof Gajah.

Yusof Gajah will be launching Sang Montel, published by ITBM and his latest book, Eledoodle. The VIP officiating the launch is Mr Shinji Tajima, president of the International Center for Literacy and Culture, Tokyo.


"We are highlighting a number of books especially picture books by Yusof Gajah, Emila Yusof, Jainal Amambing, Rossiti Aishah Rashidi and Mohana Gill. One of Yusof's early books, The Real Elephant has been translated into Japanese and is still in print today," said Linda Tan Lingard, director of the Agency.

Apart from picture books, the Agency is also highlighting a book of poems for children by Mahaya Mohd Yassin. The poems in the book, 'Sakura', were written by Mahaya when she lived in Japan a number of years ago.

At the same time, the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, Tokyo, has invited both Yusof and Linda for an evening of talks and fellowship. The talks will focus on Malaysian children's books with Yusof sharing his experiences as an illustrator of children's books.

"I have never ceased to be amazed at how books can connect us and it is indeed what our Agency is committed to doing - connecting authors and readers from different parts of the world," said Linda.
