Nadia Shireen

Nadia Shireen has written and illustrated several much-loved picture books, including UKLA award-winning Good Little Wolf, and her latest, Barbara Throws a Wobbler, which Caitlin Moran described as a ‘little doorway of joy’. Nadia has been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize, and was Writer-Illustrator in Residence for BookTrust. Grimwood, for readers age 7+, is Nadia’s first series for older readers and has been called ‘funny, anarchic, original and gloriously silly’ by bestselling author Richard Osman.
