About Victoria

Meet Victoria Gelman

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

Her work is built around original characters, playful ideas, and the kind of silly moments children want to revisit again and again.

Victoria’s passion is creating stories and characters that make children laugh, wonder, and feel welcome. She loves the small, silly moments kids remember and the strange little ideas of building a world where their imagination can wobble a bit.

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, Oddaloop is built to grow.

Giza, Victoria’s real-life inspiration

The real-life little alien behind the imagination

One of Victoria’s real-life inspirations is Giza, her sphynx cat. With her wide blue eyes, oversized ears, and wonderfully unusual look, Giza always seemed like she could have wandered in from another planet.

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

Giza is not Zibbs or Wobble, but she helped spark the kind of playful thinking that led to Planet Oddaloop: odd, expressive, funny, and just strange enough to feel magical.

Behind the look of Planet Oddaloop

While Victoria creates the stories, characters, and playful world behind Zibbs & Wobble, her husband, Edgar Gelman, helps guide the illustration direction.

Drawing on his background as an artist and his years of experience in digital creative work, Edgar helps shape the visual style, character consistency, and finished look of Planet Oddaloop.

Together, Victoria and Edgar are building Zibbs & Wobble into a growing world of books, activities, and creative projects for kids.
