Nadia Shireen: Meet the Animals of Grimwood
Laugh your head off with author and illustrator Nadia Shireen as she introduces you to the hilariously silly animal characters in her brand new series Grimwood! You’ll get to meet thieving eagles, dramatic ducks, riotous rabbits and more as she reads from her book. Nadia has been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Waterstones Children's Book Prize, and you get to join in with this fabulous picture book creator as she shows you how to draw some of the amazing characters she’s dreamed up.
This event was filmed for the 2021 Edinburgh International Book Festival and was pre-recorded. The author took part remotely.
