Dhonielle Clayton

    1 januari 1983

    De levenslange onderdompeling van deze auteur in de literatuur, die opnieuw werd aangewakkerd tijdens haar tijd als lerares Engels, vormt de basis voor haar diepe begrip van kinder- en jeugdverhalen. Haar academische studies in kinderliteratuur en schrijven voor een jong publiek hebben haar vakmanschap verder aangescherpt, wat leidde tot een carrière gewijd aan boeiende verhalen. Ze bevordert diverse stemmen in de literatuur en draagt actief bij door haar werk met We Need Diverse Books en het mede-oprichten van Cake Literary. Door haar fantasierijke verhalen verkent ze thema's als identiteit, vriendschap en de magie die te vinden is in het navigeren door de complexiteit van opgroeien.
