  "account": "A children's picture book called \"Coco The Floating Coconut\" aims to help young readers understand and express their emotions. The book's author, Constance Luk, a 31-year-old Penangite, wrote and illustrated the story to encourage conversations about mental health. In the tale, a floating coconut experiences emotions like worry, fear, loneliness, and uncertainty as it navigates the sea. By relating to the coconut, children can identify with their own feelings. The simple language and vibrant illustrations make the story accessible to young readers. As a follow-up, the book is part of a series of 16 books titled \"Little Malaysia, Big Hearts,\" with each story set in a different state or territory across Malaysia. Constance founded the non-profit organization \"People's Health & Emotional Wellbeing (Phew!)\" to promote mental health awareness and community support. She hopes to collaborate with local communities to conduct storytelling sessions at schools, nurseries, orphanages, and refugee centers. The book, priced at RM35, can be ordered through a Google form or by contacting Luk on Instagram.",
