Ayrton Zazo Girod

Ayrton Zazo Girod (Arrecifes, Argentina, 1991) studied law—but never quite felt like a lawyer. Over the past five years, he has lived in the USA, Italy, Czechia, and now Austria. It was the experience of living abroad—immersing himself in different cultures and perspectives—that helped him discover that storytelling was his true calling.

In 2024, he published his first book, Sos un Amor (Kabo&Bero), a milestone that marked the moment he began to confidently call himself a writer. Once he embraced that identity, he started to believe there might be no limits.

Inspired by that idea, he took on a new challenge: writing and illustrating a book for young readers in English. Through the story of a prince who dares to choose his own destiny, Ayrton invites readers to explore the Kingdom of Petropoliland—and to remember that no one else can define our path for us.
