Ingrid Gambotti

I’m a mom, a grandma, a dog’s best friend, a cat’s casual acquaintance, and a clueless gardener. Before becoming a children's writer, I worked as an Advertising Creative and Graphic Designer. With the arrival of Covid-19, I kept hearing that “you have to reinvent yourself.” So, I did. I dusted off my dream of writing stories and reignited the spark that was always there.

Now, I am the author of five children’s books: Big Tooth, Coco and Dile, The Very Scary Growl, The Heart in the Sky, and Operation Luna Flight.

I believe reading can make a child’s world a bigger, warmer, and more inspiring place. Through adventures, I teach about love, friendship, courage, and believing in yourself. I live in Panama with my dog, pancake mix, and too many garden bugs.
