Francesca Cavallo is an Italian writer, entrepreneur and stage director. She is the co-creator of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls series, which has broken records on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter for literary publications.[1] 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.[2][3]

The iPad magazine Timbuktu (produced by Timbuktu Labs) 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.[4]

The first volume of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls was published in 2016,[5] and has since been translated into over 30 languages.[6]
