Baljinder Kaur is an illustrator nestled in the middle of England, UK. She is passionate about the power of children’s books and their ability to transcend barriers and transform our social landscapes. She enjoys exploring through themes of the fantastical, the allegorical and the enchantingly ordinary. Her work often, and intimately reflects through the lens of a Panjabi and Sikh diaspora existence.
As a child of immigrants, she’s keen to share stories that help us to connect deeper; stories that celebrate our differences as well as our wonderfully interconnected nature.
Baljinder recently graduated with distinction from Cambridge School of Art with a Masters degree in Children's Book Illustration. She was also awarded the 2022 CSACBI Illustration for Older Fiction Prize. Baljinder is currently working on books, whilst also occasionally teaching illustration and drawing.
Her forthcoming works include THIS LAND (Viking, 2027 by Jyoti Rajan Gopal), LOST AND FOUND AT THE GURDWARA (HarperCollins, 2026), and NOOR (Chronicle, 2027).
