Bumbling Through Borneo, an educational yet comical trek through Borneo's hinterland, takes the reader on an entertaining journey of discovery by following the misadventures of a fictitious cast of bumbling characters as they stumble across the natural treasures and indigenous cultures of the Malaysian state of Sarawak - including the environmental challenges they currently face. With over 180 beautifully hand-drawn illustrations, the book's day-by-day account of the bumbling travellers' journey through Sarawak seeks to instill the reader with an environmental and cultural awareness of the island's rapidly changing situation. WWF-Malaysia calls the book "Interesting! Recommended reading for backpackers to Borneo." Awarded Silver Medal - Graphic Novel / Drawn Book (Humor) category 2009 Independent Publisher IPPY Book Awards and Bronze Medal - Comic / Graphic Novel category 2009 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards
