Chiki Fabregat was born in 1969 in a Madrid which still had trams running through it, although she doesn’t remember them. She grew up listening to stories where she and her brothers were the protagonists, because her father is a children’s book writer. Then she studied a degree in Spanish Language and Literature and spent the whole time grumbling because there were no children’s literature classes. She teaches at the School of Writers, where she also studies occasionally when she has time. And she also writes, runs courses for teachers so that classrooms can be filled with stories, travels by subway and bus, supports a girls’ football team and makes the most of the weekends when she can love and be loved by her family. She is the author of the children’s literature collection Zoila and the novel When the Moon Cries (shortlist for the Edebé award), among others.
