About Adeline Foo

Adeline, a Singaporean, is a graduate of New York University Tisch School of the Arts, Asia. She is also a mother of three.

Adeline’s The Diary of Amos Lee, published in 2009, ranks as her best-selling series. All three titles in the series have made the Straits Times’ National Best Sellers’ List for more than 55 weeks. The first book, I Sit, I Write, I Flush! has also won the inaugural Red Dot award given by the International Schools Libraries Network, a children’s choice award. Her fourth book in the series, Whoopie Lee: Almost Famous, a companion to The Diary of Amos Lee, has also made the bestseller list.

Adeline first ventured into writing in 2006 when she received the inaugural First Time Writers & Illustrators Publishing Initiative Award given by the Media Development Authority of Singapore and the National Book Development Council of Singapore. Identified as the media authorities as one of Singapore’s forerunners in children’s book writing, she has received support from the media authorities to publish 13 picture books for early readers. Since then, Adeline has not stopped writing. Three of her books have been adapted into animation shorts, with a fourth new series being planned to debut on TV for 2012.
