Moira Munro was born in Paris, the daughter of a Scottish father and Armenian mother. She spent her childhood in Paris and Brussels and studied physics at university. She met her husband whilst working at a research post at Nottingham University. From Nottingham she and her husband moved to Glasgow, where they still live, together with their young daughter.

Having a young child reminded Moira how much she loved children’s books and she decided to celebrate her fortieth birthday by becoming a self-employed illustrator. Besides writing and illustrating children’s books, she also draws cartoons for adults. She has never had formal training in illustration but drawing was always a hobby and she taught herself by analysing the pictures of her favourite illustrators.

Moira has written and illustrated educational titles and a number of picture books, including two for Piccadilly Press: Hamish – the Bear who Found his Child and Hamish and the Missing Teddy.
