Description
Ella is finding it difficult to cope with her nanny, Mina, going home. She tries hard, in her six-year-old way, to stop Mina from leaving. But Mina has to go. A present from Mina forms a magical bond between them.
While Mina goes back to tending to her children, her affection and love for Ella flows through the malong.
Mina's Magic Malong stirs a magical wonder in reminding readers of a universal human emotion that resides in all of us, no matter how diverse we are—Love.

About the Author
Eva Wong Nava was born on a tropical island where a merlion spurts water. Her ancestors braved monsoon winds sailing from the Middle Kingdom to British Malaya to plant roots in Southeast Asia. When the winds changed, her relatives sailed again and found another home somewhere in the western hemisphere, braving snow storms and hail. Eva has done many things in life, like banking and teaching, but writing remains her most favourite thing to do. She combines degrees in literature and art history and writes stories that explore identity, culture, and belonging by adding a dash of magic. Eva has written an awardwinning middle-grade book (Moonbeam Children's Book Awards, 2018) and several best-selling picture books. She lives in the Land of Albion with her family, two scampering squirrels, and a regal fox.
