Nadia Shireen enjoyed making homemade magazines and comics as a child. She studied law at university and then worked in magazine journalism; it was during this time that she started to draw again.
After a lifetime of doodling in the sidelines, Nadia decided to pay some attention to drawing and, in 2007, was accepted onto an MA course in Children’s Book Illustration at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge.
Her debut book, Good Little Wolf, received a mention in the Bologna Ragazzi Opera Prima Award and won the UKLA Book Award. Nadia has been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize.
