“Bruno and the Pool” by Maria Anggita Prabarini #KIBA2021

Bruno, the curly-haired little boy was most afraid of swimming. However, on that day there would be a swimming class that Bruno had to take. It was clear in Bruno’s head, the monsters at the bottom of the pool waiting for him to swim, pulling his feet to the bottom and preventing him from returning to the surface. Just dipping his toes, Bruno screamed and immediately hugged Mr. And. Seeing Bruno’s fear, Mr. Dan asked his friends to swim first to show Bruno that swimming in the pool wasn’t scary. Finally, little by little Bruno wanted to enter the pool.

Her hobby is playing the piano, Maria hopes that more children’s books by Indonesian writers and illustrators can be presented and traded in the largest bookstores in Indonesia so that they are easily accessible to our nation’s children. It would be even better if it could be spread throughout the world. In this way, Indonesian values ​​and culture can be lived and preserved.

“Friends for New Neighbors” by Hasas Citra Adiningsih #KIBA2021

One day, Runi has a new neighbor in her complex. Her name is Lily. Together with her friends, Runi invites Lili to ride a bicycle. But Lili was so slow that she fell far behind. Seeing that, Runi was confused because her friends didn’t want to wait for Lili. What should Runi do?

Like the characters in the story, Hasas also likes to ride a bicycle. In addition, his hobbies are reading books and playing the piano.

For Hasas illustration is the door of all meanings before words. I remember the first time I was interested in reading books because I saw the illustrations in children’s story books. Therefore, I hope that the quality of children’s books in Indonesia will be even better so that children’s interest in reading can increase.
