Apart from her many academic papers, she has given numerous talks on children and adolescents’ use of the Internet and video gaming issues. The social psychologist and teacher-educator maintains a deep interest in children’s social and emotional growth and fervently believes that there are boundless opportunities to inculcate values and character education. She now devotes much time to playing with and reading to her toddler grandson—the inspiration behind her new journey of writing stories for young children. How San Khoo, PhD, has been happily married to Angeline for nearly forty years. The retiree is Gramps to Matthew. He has been a journalist, civil servant, and think-tank academic. He has written extensively on an eclectic range of subjects, from the nuclear balance of power to Asia-Pacific regional security to less weighty matters, such as pointing out the quirky and lighter side of English language usage. He writes a blog (onthesannyside.blogspot.com). This present and very satisfying collaboration with Angeline is his first venture into writing for young children. Together, they have published two other children’s books with Partridge, “Matthew and the Thirsty Sun” and “Matthew’s Stacking Cups.”view less
