A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR
"In Escort for the King of the Day, young Amri, an eager eleven-year-old Malay boy, embarks on a captivating journey into the heart of his family's rich traditions. Inspired by the author's wedding ceremony, this enchanting children's book follows Amri as he's chosen to be the escort for his uncle, Cik Jamil, on his wedding day.
As Amri prepares for his special role, he discovers the fascinating world of Malay wedding decorations – bunga manggar, bunga pahar, and bunga rampai. These vibrant symbols come to life as Amri learns their significance and the stories behind them. Through laughter, music, and delicious Malay cuisine, Amri not only delves into his cultural heritage but also unravels the magic of love and family bonds."
