About Victoria

Meet Victoria Gelman

I’m Victoria Gelman, the author and creator behind Zibbs & Wobble, Planet Oddaloop, and a growing collection of funny, imaginative books and creative projects for kids.

My passion is creating original characters, playful worlds, and the kind of silly little moments children want to come back to again and again.

Zibbs & Wobble began with two very different friends: one who loves plans, and one who almost understands them. From there, Planet Oddaloop grew into a strange, colorful place where moons can end up in bushes, breakfasts can escape, and even the wrong idea might turn out to be exactly what was needed.

My goal is simple: to make books that feel funny, warm, and a little wonderfully weird. Stories where kids can laugh, wonder, and feel welcome inside a world that gives their imagination room to wobble.

A World Built for Silly Ideas

Planet Oddaloop is a place where mistakes, mix-ups, and odd little problems are part of everyday life.

It gives Zibbs & Wobble room to grow into picture books, activity books, printable fun, and future creative projects, all connected by the same playful world.

In other words, Planet Oddaloop is built to grow.

Giza, Victoria’s real-life inspiration

The real-life little alien behind the imagination

One of my inspirations was Giza, my sphinx cat.

With her wide blue eyes, oversized ears, and wonderfully unusual look, Giza has always seemed like she could have wandered in from another world. She is odd, expressive, funny, and just strange enough to feel magical.

Her name comes from Giza, the Egyptian city near the famous pyramids, which feels fitting for a cat who already looks a little mysterious, ancient, and out of this world.

Giza helped spark the kind of playful thinking that led to Oddaloop: a place where strange can be sweet, silly can be serious, and the most unusual little creatures can feel right at home.
