Congratulations on your 3 year Litsy anniversary @BarbaraBB ❤️🎉👏

The Kampung Boy is a sweet & funny graphic novel, an autobiographical account of the artist's life growing up in 1950s Malaysia...his adventures & misadventures, set against the traditional way of life in his village that is fast disappearing. The charming illustrations recaptures the innocence of childhood & give an authentic portrayal of the cultural past.🙂

What a wonderful way to convey the experience of a train passing by Lat‘s tiny village without stopping!

From birth to boarding school, this is the story of a Muslim boy growing up on a rubber plantation in Malaysia. Wonderfully illustrated and humorously told, this was a fun read.

Look no further for a light, funny, and immersive experience of rural Malaysia in comics format. I highly recommend this one.
