María VergaraI was born in the beautiful Andalusian city of Seville, in Spain. I have always loved art and creativity. Mother of three children, I enjoy crossing the childhood bridge to engage with the endless imagination. After leaving my job in the Marketing an Advertising field, to move with my family to Switzerland, I started reinventing herself. In the middle of this reinvention period, I moved again, to Germany. Another change. Another challenge! But I took the opportunity to learn more, explore my creativity and start my own business of illustrating and designing t-shirts and bags for children. That was the birth of the Wolols, who at that moment were named Cacotato. I worked hard, failed in the clothing business but learnt a lot and moved again. Yes! This time to Singapore, another opportunity to grow. After completing a master in marketing online, many courses about writing children's books, educational research, psychology, a lot of sketches and drawings, thinking, challenges, and tons of hours of work applying all my knowledge I launched The Wolols brand by children's books. How many times have you seen their little eyes wide open waiting for the last chapter, laughing with the illustrations of a book... How many times have you heard their lovely and sweet voices begging for another book to read? They don't want this magical moment, snuggling with mommy or daddy, to come to an end. There is a fantastic feeling when the children ask for more stories (well, yes, all of us have a limit at night!) This love for reading and their perception of becoming part of the stories is why I very much enjoy imagining, writing and illustrating children's books. If along the way, I can leave a small seed through my books, teaching ethical values and giving tips about taking care of our planet, I will be more than happy. Nowadays, children spend too many time with their eyes stuck on the screens and Wolols books try to engage them in creative activities and fun projects, boost their imagination and encourage them to play. I hope you and your child will enjoy this bunch of joyful characters, reading their stories and crafting!
