Karla Fernandes

Karla Fernandes is a children’s author dedicated to creating inclusive, empowering stories that celebrate diversity and inspire young minds. Her books, including the beloved Pink Princess series, feature characters from all walks of life—children with different abilities, backgrounds, and experiences—allowing every child to see themselves as the hero of their own story.

Drawing inspiration from real children and real-life moments, Karla’s storytelling blends simple, engaging language with meaningful themes of empathy, self-confidence, and belonging. Many of her books are designed with accessibility in mind, using dyslexia-friendly fonts, clear visuals, and thoughtful layouts to ensure that all children, including those with low vision or color blindness, can enjoy reading.

In addition to the Pink Princess collection, Karla has co-authored As Cinco Saúdes, which encourages healthy habits in young readers, and My Mind Is a Lamborghini, a playful yet powerful exploration of neurodiversity. Her work resonates with parents, educators, and children worldwide, making storytime both joyful and impactful.

When she’s not writing, Karla enjoys connecting with her readers, visiting schools, and developing new stories that spark imagination while fostering understanding and kindness.
