Everybody loves a good adventure. The upcoming Stories+Art=Picture Books, a festival that opens on June 18 at GMBB in Kuala Lumpur to celebrate stories and art in picture books, might be an ambitious month-long event, but the passionate group of people pulling it together are certain that visitors won’t run out of fun experiences to write home about.
In the last few months, there have been many book, art and literary events springing up all over Kuala Lumpur.
