Catalina Kobelt was born in Lomas de Zamora and now lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She started making books for her older daughter. Her creations are unique because she is an autodidact inspired by the world of Bruno Munari. She introduces herself: "I'm in the illustration world, but I'm not an illustrator. I'm in the writing world, but I'm not precisely a writer. I edit, but I'm not strictly an editor. I make books that aren't books."
