If you're a book lover, you're in for an absolute treat this June.

Kuala Lumpur is set to come alive in the next few weeks (or days) with two book festivals - the major league Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair at its traditional home World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur, while the month-long Stories+Art=Picture Books festival at GMBB mall is something new and exciting for the children's book community and illustrator/designer scene.
