His quest will bring him to locations such as Changi Airport and he will receive help from the Singapore Girl and other friendly characters.In a statement to Marketing, SIA's spokesperson said Cooper approached the company to support his endeavour in developing a children’s book featuring Singapore.

SIA hopes to encourage reading in children and for the reader to discover a love for reading by reading more about Singapore.Campbell Wilson, senior vice president sales and marketing, Singapore Airlines said, “This is a beautifully-illustrated book and the writing has such a lyrical quality. It introduces young readers to Singapore’s vibrant transport scene and shows them how its national carrier has played a strong role in transforming the country into an aviation hub.”“I believe books are vital for encouraging a love of reading amongst the young. I am delighted that Singapore Airlines shares this same belief in the importance of education and supported the production of this book. I could not think of any brand more iconic and inseparable from its home country than Singapore Airlines,” added Matthew.The book will be released on Singapore’s National Day on 9 August 2018. It will be made available at major bookstores and on krisshop.com as well as the October issue of the SilverKris magazine catalogue.
