Hari sangat panas dan kolam lumpur adalah tempat terbaik untuk mendinginkan tubuh. Tetapi, tidak menurut Sero. Sampai satu serangga mulai mengganggunya. Lalu, lebih banyak lagi serangga yang datang! Oh, tidak! Apa yang harus Sero lakukan sekarang?

Kami tertawa-tawa membaca dan melihat Sero meng-hus-hus serangga-serangga yang mendekatinya. Memang melihat berendam di lumpur untuk mendinginkan tubuh juga membuat kami berpikir, “Ih, kan kotor!” Tapi saat melihat serangga-serangga yang mengganggu kalau mencari kesejukan dengan cara umum, ternyata justru malah lebih menyusahkan. Kadang cara yang kita pikir kurang keren, bisa memiliki banyak kebijaksanaan dan pengetahuan di dalamnya.

Na Willa is a bright, adventurous girl living in Surabaya’s suburbs, her home in the middle of an alley surrounded by cypress trees. She spends her days running after trains with Dul (she always beats him), going down to the market with Mak, and thinking about how people can sing through radios. But while everyone else tells Na Willa what to do and who to be, Na Willa wants to be free. She doesn’t want to be “just” a girl, she doesn’t want to look just like Pak, or just Mak. She wants to be both and more.
Indonesian author Reda Gaudiamo has created a collection of stories of curious adventures and musings of a multicultural girl growing up in Indonesia with an East Indonesian mother and a Chinese-Indonesian father. Set in a time when children spent the day outside, listening to Lilis Suryani’s songs on the radio, and when race and gender would still go undiscussed, this is Na Willa’s story as she grows up unafraid to ask the big questions.
Na Willa was originally written in Indonesian by Reda Gaudiamo and published by Post Press.

Kira always feels gloomy when it rains. She can’t read outside, can’t play in the park, and has to wear all her thickest clothes.
But one day her friends Ana and Ilo ask her to join them on an adventure outside during another downpour. Kira discovers the joy of all the things that happen outside when it rains – from the new friends she makes, to the umbrellas on the streets, to the thrill of lightning, and finally, the warmth found at the end of each rainfall.
With her delightful artwork and enchanting words, Rassi Narika spins a story of hope and discovery that will brighten even the rainiest of days.
When It Rains was originally written in Indonesian and published by Seumpama with the title, Waktu Hujan Turun.
