Francesca Cavallo

Francesca Cavallo is an Italian bestselling author, entrepreneur and activist. She is the co-creator of "Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls" series, which has broken records on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter for publishing. Cavallo's career began in theater, managing a theater company, and in 2011 turned to the development of Timbuktu Labs with Elena Favilli, which published a children's magazine for iPads, also called Timbuktu.
The iPad magazine "Timbuktu" (produced by Timbuktu Labs) was the first iPad magazine for children and it presented the news to children as a form of entertainment. The magazine utilized colorful pictures, easy-to-read language, and sound to appeal to children, and top-down scrolling vs. the traditional page flipping style of a magazine.
The first volume of "Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls" was published in 2016, and has since been translated into 47 languages.
