Maria Vaz Oliveira is a young woman with a passion for stories that make the heart beat faster. After graduating in Law, she found her true passion in writing. From an early age, she was enchanted by the classics of fantastic literature, where the magic and courage of the heroes inspired her to create her first children's book, The Magic of the Seasons. This book celebrates friendship, love and the power to dream - ingredients that Maria will continue to bring to many more adventures.
Camilla Galindo is Brazilian and has been passionate about drawing since she was a child. In 2009, she became an illustrator by profession, illustrating children's and educational books. Her mission is to tell stories through fun and colorful drawings, always trying to convey the magic and charm of stories to children's imaginations.
She currently works with 100% digital illustration, but likes to vary her styles to include watercolor and traditional colored pencils. Books involving animals and fantasy are her favorites, which is why she loved illustrating Gaviel and Mirela's adventure.
