Francesca Cavallo is an Italian bestselling author, entrepreneur and activist. She is best known as the co-creator of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls series, which has broken records on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter for publishing.[1]

Biography

Cavallo's career began in theater, where she managed a theater company, and in 2011 she turned to the development of Timbuktu Labs with Elena Favilli, which published a children's magazine for iPads, also called Timbuktu.[2][3]

The iPad magazine Timbuktu (produced by Timbuktu Labs) was the first iPad magazine for children [4] 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.[5]

The first volume of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls was published in 2016,[6] and has since been translated into 47 languages.[7]
