Nishani Reed is a children’s writer, rhymist and book-auntie. She lives in south Manchester with her husband, two children and an inconveniently large dog. Her debut picture book, Nabil Steals a Penguin, was longlisted for the 2024 Diverse Book Awards and the 2025 BookTrust Storytime Prize. Nishani also works in publishing as an IP lawyer and spends her time juggling work and family life in a way that rarely impresses anyone.
