Matteo Villa is a children’s author dedicated to making learning joyful, engaging, and fun.
Inspired by his son’s endless curiosity, Matteo creates picture books in a unique pixel art style, inspired by the blocky look of games like Minecraft. While many kids may not know the term “8-bit,” the bold, simple, and colorful graphics instantly grab their attention — just as they did with Matteo’s own son, whose fascination sparked the idea.
By blending this retro-meets-modern style with fascinating facts and playful activities, Matteo’s books stand out from traditional picture books. They invite kids to learn by having fun while exploring exciting topics like trucks, emergency vehicles, and animals.
Through his brand Lively Zzack, Matteo brings together books and videos that encourage children and families to explore, play, and imagine — turning every story into an adventure they’ll want to revisit again and again.
