Katrina Gallagher

Katrina Gallagher is an author and digital marketer with a passion for analytics. Inspired by her love for storytelling and her background in digital marketing, she began writing books for her son and her friend's children. Living with her partner and their 4-year-old son, Katrina finds endless inspiration in her child's curiosity and joy. Her debut book, “Hola Harry,” is a high-contrast bilingual book for babies and young children in English and Spanish. This delightful book introduces simple words like “mummy” and “daddy,” along with everyday items a baby might encounter, ending with a cosy bedtime scene. The carefully chosen words are among the most commonly learned and useful, visually representing a baby's daily world. Katrina’s books are unique, combining high-contrast visuals with bilingual elements, helping babies and young children learn languages through clear, simple words and engaging shapes. Her straightforward writing style makes her books an excellent choice for parents looking to give their children a strong foundation in language learning. Katrina’s expertise in digital marketing also enhances her writing. She blends scientific research and data-driven ideas into her books, ensuring they meet the needs of her audience. While “Hola Harry” was a heartfelt creation, her subsequent books are crafted with both passion and strategic insights, making them even more engaging for young readers. Katrina collaborates with a dedicated team to produce her books, including her trusted formatting specialist Luís and her long-time website developer Surjit. She also works with translators and voice artists worldwide to create high-quality audiobooks with native voices, complete with background music and sound effects. Looking ahead, Katrina plans to continue her work in digital marketing while pursuing her passion for writing children's books. She has several exciting projects in the pipeline, including “Bonjour Bonnie!” (English and French), “Ciao Clara!” (English and Italian), and “Hallo Hannah!” (English and German). Additionally, she will expand the English and Spanish series with themes like My Body, Food, and Finance. Katrina is grateful for the positive response to her books and hopes to inspire a love for reading in young children everywhere.
