The latest issue of the KIT Newsletter has just been published and is available at https://kit.hdfs.ntnu.edu.tw/CN/Newsletter_content.aspx?es=71. In this edition, we feature a guide to “Why Is the Sky Blue?”, a heartwarming storybook written by Sally Grindley and illustrated by Susan Varley. The story follows an inquisitive Rabbit who constantly questions his surroundings, while his elderly friend, Donkey, has grown indifferent. Through their journey together, Donkey rediscovers the joy of curiosity, highlighting the beauty of mutual learning between generations.

Moreover, this issue provides a brief overview of the Future of Families & Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS), a longitudinal research project launched between 1998 and 2000. The study tracks nearly 5,000 children born in large U.S. cities, with about three-quarters born to unmarried parents. Its goal is to explore the dynamics of unmarried parents and their children, focusing on health, economic, and social factors. Data collection covers interviews with both parents shortly after childbirth, followed by regular check-ins as the children grow. Other highlights include a summary of key KIT findings on children’s allergies and how parents manage these conditions, along with a feature on telephone interviewers and follow-up interviewers involved in the KIT project.
