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]
