In this Storytime For Kids session, I did a read aloud of 'Shadows', a book from the Hikayat range by Kakiseni, written by Maya Zaharudin and illustrated by Shufitri Mohd Shukardi. This read-aloud and storytime session is a collaboration between Akademi Seni Budaya Dan Warisan Kebangsaan (ASWARA) Malaysia, Kakiseni and myself, particularly for the 'Sensory Wayang Kulit' project, a final-year project of ASWARA students. The 'Sensory Wayang Kulit' project aims to bring the joy of stories and the art of 'Wayang Kulit Kelantan' to our blind and visually-impaired friends. This storytelling session is therefore much more descriptive and filled with engaging sound effects to give accessibility for the visually-impaired. You are also encouraged to wear sleep eye masks listening to this, and explore the story using your sense of hearing! If you'd like to get more info or get a copy of the book 'Shadows', go to: http://kakiseni.org/hikayat/ And stay tuned for more storytime sessions with me, Aunty Yaya! Feel free to let me know too what stories you'd like to have in my next session. :) Lastly of course, do SUBSCRIBE to my channel by clicking the red 'SUBSCRIBE' button above so you won't miss the next story!

In this Storytime For Kids session, I did a read aloud of 'Stamps From Grandpa', an endearing story written and illustrated by talented author Carolina Seredenco. 'Stamps From Grandpa' is a feel-good story about a boy and his grandfather who teaches him about stamps, and also about the importance of learning and being kind. It's a beautifully illustrated book, catered for preschool-aged children. And best of all, this book had ignited my 6yo daughter's interest in having penpals, writing letters and collecting stamps, which are all beautiful experiences we hardly see these days. My daughter's definitely learning a lot from this book apart from enjoying the story itself! If you'd like to get a copy of this lovely book, do head to: https://www.amazon.com/Stamps-Grandpa-Carolina-Seredenco/dp/B08GFPM92T And stay tuned for more storytime sessions with me, Aunty Yaya!

Di dalam sesi bercerita atau 'read aloud' ini, saya membaca dari buku terbitan baharu Oyez, 'Tadu Sang Penyamar'. Buku 'Tadu Sang Penyamar' ini ditulis oleh Sarah Azam dan dilengkapi dengan ilustrasi menarik oleh Elly Nor Suria Zainudin. Buku ini menceritakan tentang kisah seekor mentadak bernama Tadu yang sedang berehat di atas sepohon dahan. Badan Tadu yang berwarna hijau memberinya penyamaran yang baik. Tanpa menyedari bahawa Tadu sedang berdekatan, serangga dan haiwan lain datang ke dahan tersebut lalu mula bercerita. Apakah yang didengari oleh Tadu? Saksikan video ini untuk mengetahui selanjutnya. :) Buku ini boleh didapati dari laman web Oyez! Book Store: https://www.oyezbookstore.com/browse--buy.html#!/Tadu-Sang-Penyamar/p/177507815 Sebagai seorang pencerita, saya berharap video ini dapat menambahkan minat anak-anak anda untuk membaca. :) Untuk menonton lebih video bercerita daripada saya, anda boleh ke playlist saya yang berjudul 'For Your Kids: Storytime with Aunty Yaya'. ...dan jangan lupa untuk SUBSCRIBE! :) [This read-aloud video is posted with permission by the publisher of the book.]
