Her presence at this year’s fair wasn’t just about showcasing a book—it was about amplifying a mission.
A Journey Across Worlds: Mirka’s Story at the London Book Fair 2026
At London Book Fair 2026, stories from across the globe came together—but few carried the depth, resilience, and global perspective of Mirka Kiersztejn.

From growing up in socialist Poland, where narratives were shaped by control and propaganda, to stepping into the freedoms and complexities of life in the United Kingdom, Mirka’s journey is one of courage, reinvention, and relentless pursuit of opportunity.
Two Voices. One Powerful Story.
Watch Mirka and Emma Anderson share the heart behind their books—one journey shaped by resilience, love, and a mission to change how the world sees difference.
