About the Author

Adeline Foo first dreamt of becoming a writer when she was a little girl. A recipient of the inaugural First Time Writers & Illustrators Publishing Initiative presented by the Media Development Authority and the National Book Development Council of Singapore in 2006, she has not stopped writing since winning the award and has eight published children’s books. Adeline’s books have received excellent media reviews and have made their way to Frankfurt and Melbourne. Three of her books had crossed over from print to screen as animation shorts, one of which was screened at Cannes. The “Monsters in the Mind” books address the child in her who never quite grew up and allow her to be ingenious in banishing the thing under her bed!
