Description
Pesta Menuai captures the beating heart of Sabah’s Kadazan-Dusun culture. The visually breathtaking children’s book is brought to life by the masterful woodcut artistry of Rizo Leong.
The trilingual book is adapted from an epic 4.3-meter-long continuous print that has been exhibited in many art shows.
This unique visual narrative invites readers to trace the rhythmic, communal journey of the traditional harvest festival through raw, deeply textured illustrations that pulse with energy and movement.
Pesta Menuai transcends traditional storytelling to become a tactile, unforgettable celebration of indigenous heritage, grassroots community, and the timeless bond between the people and the land.
The book visually traces the entire traditional rice-growing journey, from the grueling work of ploughing and planting to the final harvest.
It honors the intense labor of local farmers and highlights the deep-rooted gotong-royong (spirit of cooperation) that binds Sabah’s farming villages together.
Perfect for young readers and art collectors alike.
