About the Author

Maria Motunrayo Adebisi graduated from the University of Oxford in 2017 with a degree in English Literature, although she currently works in tech. As part of her degree she focused on post-colonial literature from Nigeria and West Africa, and on graduating she realised that she wanted to write a novel that would speak to children straddling British and African identities and make them proud of both. Maria is based in Manchester.
