About the author
KT started Colloquial Kids for kids and families who want the fun everyday slang of their heritage communities — the talk you hear at the table, not only in a classroom.
How it started
After meeting people and learning Singlish as a living blend — through connections including a close friend in Singapore — KT wanted young kids (and curious grown-ups) to get that same everyday slang in a format made for them.
Heritage slang is sticky, funny, and full of belonging. Colloquial Kids puts that talk on the page with coloring, puzzles, and scenes that feel like home — a gift adults actually want to buy, useful and warm for one community at a time.
Everyday speakers and language consultants review each book for real usage, so the talk on the page matches how families actually speak.
