Nadine Kaadan

Nadine Kaadan is an award-wining children’s book author and illustrator from Damascus, Syria, who has published many books in Arabic. She lives in London, where she completed MAs in communication design (Kingston University) and art and politics (Goldsmiths University). Her Arabic-language book Answer me, Leila! won the 2011 Anna Lindh Award for the best fiction book for children with special needs and was featured in The Guardian in ‘Disability Inclusive Books That Should Be Available In English’. Tomorrow, about the daily life of a little boy during the Syrian conflict, was nominated for the 2019 Kate Greenaway Medal. One of her other titles, The Jasmine Sneeze, is one of the first children’s books in the UK that touches on Syria’s long and proud culture and heritage in a time marred by war. Her work has featured on CNN’s Connect the World programme and in a BBC short film, among others.
