We are delighted to announce that Nadine Aisha Jassat will be visiting us in HMS on Monday 7th October to present her latest verse-novel, ‘The Hidden Story of Estie Noor’: a page-turning mystery about family, friendship and finding the words to speak the truth.
Nadine is an award-winning author of ‘The Stories Grandma Forgot (And How I Found Them)’ and the poetry collection ‘Let Me Tell You This’. She often works with schools and youth groups, and libraries around the world. She is a regular borrower in hers. Nadine lives in Edinburgh, and grew up in the North of England with a Yorkshire mum and a Zimbabwean dad.
