Núria Pradas studied Catalan philology at The University of Barcelona. Her time spent as a secondary school teacher was what drove her to start writing books for children, of which she has published some fifty. In 2021 she won the Carlemany Award for the Promotion of Reading for Under the Same Sky, and began to write for adults, with her first novel The Library Girl (2014). In 2015 she wrote Tailor-Made Dreams, which was translated into eight languages and sold over 20,000 copies in Germany, and in 2017 The Scent of Time (2017).
