Anisa Daniel-Oniko

Anisa Daniel-Oniko is Nigerian, but currently lives in Dubai, UAE, with her family. She is a

writer and an ardent reader. She wrote her debut book, “Double ‘A ’For Adventure”, at the age

of ten, which follows the adventures of twin girls who find themselves on an adventurous hunt.

It went on to make the long list for the Nigeria Prize for literature, the largest literature prize in

Africa. This made her the youngest person to be on the long list for the Prize, as it is typically an

adult competition. Her second book, Further in Florien, was released in August of 2021. In 2024,

she wrote and worked as a senior editor for the Journal of the Global Youth Council on Science,

Law and Sustainability - Harmony.

Anisa is intensely dedicated to the sustainable development goals, especially life on land, life

underwater, and gender equality. She is also passionate about her writing and eagerly looks

forward to the day when she sees her characters find loving places in the hearts, homes, and

libraries of children (and adults!) all over the world. Her dream is to help build a world of safety,

sustainability, and tolerance, and for her life to be full of adventures and escapades that’d rival

those found in her stories.
