Anak Rimba Books has a clear goal: to inspire a generation of children to cherish the planet. Founded by Abyan Junus-Nishizawa and Farah Landemaine, this publishing house is dedicated to creating beautifully illustrated children's books, to educate young readers about nature and endangered Asian species. To date, they have released six delightful and impactful stories, and have expanded into other forms of storytelling too, including film. We catch up with them to discuss their ongoing mission to inspire young (and not-so-young) Malaysians to cherish and protect our incredible biodiversity.
