Since it was first published in English, My Mother's Garden has gone through a second print run and translated into Malay by Malaysian publisher Karangkraf. It has also been animated by Moker Taiwan and English digital rights sold to Perbadanan Kota Buku, Malaysia.
My Mother's Garden is the first in a series of books featuring Dina, a fun-loving and curious little girl who observes her surrounding with wide eyes. It is targeted at very young children who are learning to read. The text is simple and children will learn to identify items around them. A day with Dina is a happy, satisfying day and young readers will gain satisfaction as they explore the world around them and learn new words. "Dina is a friendly little girl and she hopes to have friends from all over the world," says Emila.
The second book in the series is My Mother's Kitchen and the third book, due to be published in January 2015 is My Father's Farm.
 |  Spread from My Father's Farm which promises to be as endearing to young readers as the first two books. |
