Anisa Daniel-Oniko

Anisa Daniel-Oniko lives in Lagos, Nigeria, 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.

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.
