Daisy Hirst is from London and lives in Cambridge. She has written and illustrated seven picture books for Walker Books: The Girl with the Parrot on her Head (2015), ALPHONSE, THAT IS NOT OK TO DO! (2016), Hilda and the Runaway Baby (2017), I DO NOT LIKE BOOKS ANYMORE (2018), ALPHONSE, THERE'S MUD ON THE CEILING! (2019) and I Like Trains (2020). Daisy also wrote and illustrated Hamish Takes the Train (2019), published by Two Hoots. Daisy's first baby board books are MONSTER FOOD and MONSTER CLOTHES, published by Walker in October 2020.

Daisy has wanted to write and illustrate picture books since before she could write. She studied English and Creative Writing at the University of Warwick, but never stopped reading picture books or doodling, and went on to study Children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art, completing her MA in 2013.
