Inda Ahmad Zahri seems to always have a toe in one world and a pinkie in another. She trained as a surgical doctor, but now spends much of her time writing and illustrating stories for children. Her art – rendered in watercolours and digital media – is a tug-of-war between realism and whimsy. 

Originally from Kuala Lumpur, she now splits her time between her garden home in Meanjin/Brisbane and a sandy spot in the Middle East. 

Inda is the author of several picture books including CBCA Notable title, Salih. Her latest, The Month That Makes The Year, is her first as both author and illustrator. Inda is represented by Annabel Barker Agency.
