Steinbock, Linda: - Linda Steinbock is a humanitarian aid worker of Swedish and MalaySingaporean descent. She attended university in Melbourne, Australia and began working for an NGO, supporting children and families affected by conflict, typhoons, earthquakes and tsunamis. Her work also involved research into how children are affected by crisis, never more so than during the Covid-19 pandemic.It was while quarantined in Singapore that Linda came up with the idea of a children's picture book which illustrates how the power of human connection can overcome adversity, and how even distanced relationships can continue to lift us up during these anxious times.Through her book and her website, Linda hopes to create a space where others can share how they've overcome isolation and enhanced connection with those they love, and to foster discussion about long distance, multi-cultural friendships and relationships.
