In her element — as at home among orange trees as in front of a blank page.
The author
A voice that found
its home between pages
Tatiana Deriabina Shamshurina was born with her eyes wide open — one of those rare people who finds stories where others only see things.
Her children’s books are born from a conviction as simple as it is powerful.
Children deserve stories that truly speak to them.
That’s why she writes without underestimating them, with magic that doesn’t deceive, emotions they recognise, and a warmth that lingers long after the book is closed.
With four solo books, her voice continues to grow within the literary landscape. In her stories something gets lost, someone is missed, trust is learned, or a way to start over is found. Because children already know the world can be complicated; what they deserve is to be told so with honesty, sensitivity, and an outstretched hand.
Based in Madrid, Tatiana writes at the crossroads of two worlds: unbounded imagination and genuine emotion.
She also hosts Con todos los acentos every Tuesday on Onda Terral Radio — a space for conversation with singular voices about books, writing, and the stories that help us contemplate the world differently.
Every story she writes is, at its heart, an invitation. A small door for big hearts. A promise that the world has more layers than meet the eye.
