Never thought in my wildest dream for Rainbows and Sunshine to be selected as one of the 100 Malaysia Children’s Picture Books to Read and Love. R&S being my first book because uh, I couldn’t find a publisher on time, and I wanted to make something impactful so I self-published the book… fully written and illustrated by me.
