Onjali Q. Raúf is the multi-award-winning, Sunday Times bestselling author of such modern classics as The Boy at the Back of the Class, The Star Outside My Window, The Night Bus Hero, The Lion Above the Door, The Letter with the Golden Stamp, and The Game I Will Never Forget, amongst others. Awarded the Waterstones Book Prize and Blue Peter Book Award in 2019, her stories have been translated into over 17 languages, and have gone on to win the Sakura Medal (Japan); the Diversity Book Award (UK), the Cowbell Award (Switzerland), the Prix Janusz Korczak (France) and the Bologna Book Plus Award (Italy). She is also the first person to ever have been awarded an MBE for both Children's Literature and Women's Rights as a joint category. When not thinking up stories at her home in in London, Onjali can be found in the refugee camps of northern France; taking flying lessons in tiny planes, or running along the corridors of parliament trying to lobby MPs on behalf of the rights of women and girls, homeless communities, and refugees of war, political persecution and climate change. All of her stories are inspired by real-life s/heroes she has the honour of meeting and working with through Making Herstory and O's Refugee Aid Team (her not-for-profit organisations), and the many children she meets who are bravely challenging racisms and sexisms in their own, unique ways.
