MBO Cinemas x Me Books Asia collaborate to launch superhero-themed storybook
23.08.2019 by LadyAlly
In order to advocate better family relationships and bonding time between parents and children, an unexpected duo has decided to join hands. MBO Cinemas and Me Books Asia has joined forces to produce a storybook that tells kids that they each have their own strengths, fortes, and that a hero resides within them.
Dubbed as ‘Unleash the Superhero in you’, this is the first instalment of a long-term collaboration between the two brands. The storybooks aim to instil important values in children along with exciting activities to be offered in MBO Cinemas’ Kecil Halls moving forward.
Profits from the sale of this storybook will be donated to Little Yellow Flower Education Foundation benefitting underprivileged children who lack access to quality education. This collaboration also seeks to donate more than 1,000 copies of the storybook across five state libraries in conjunction of the #MalaysiaMembaca campaign unveiled by the government in their 10-year Literacy Plan (Dekad Membaca). The libraries involved are the National Library of Malaysia along with four states libraries which are Selangor, Perak, Johor and Sarawak.
With the help of international celebrity and beloved mother, Sinje Lee, along with other caring society influencers such as Sarah Tan, Racheal Kwacz, Jay Jamalina and Kristie Chan, ‘Unleash the Superhero in you’ will also be available as an audiobook. These celebrities will be the enchanting voices narrating the audiobook, which is available in 3 languages – English, Mandarin, and Malay.
What is the story about?
‘Unleash The Superhero In You’ is a story about Alison and how things are not as they appear to be. She lives her life trying to achieve great exploits by lending a helping hand to all around her. It is evident sometimes as family and friends, it may seem easier to watch and comment by the sidelines, not be involved and be indifferent to the plight of others. This story reminds us that no matter who we are, we have all got something to give and make a difference. Rather than wondering about the wonderful, let an inspiring person like Alison, help to unleash the hero within us to make the world a better place. This storyline was written with intention to inspire and instil good values in children.
