Silvina Reinaudi (born March 12, 1942) is a famous writer and puppeteer from Argentina. She is best known for creating amazing puppet shows and writing stories for children. Her work has been enjoyed by audiences in both Argentina and Spain.

A Creative Start in Argentina

Silvina Reinaudi was born in a city called Río Cuarto. Although she grew up there, she moved to the capital city of Buenos Aires in 1982, where she still lives today.

When she was younger, Silvina studied law and literature in school. However, she soon discovered her true passion was not in a courtroom or a library, but in the world of imagination. She decided to spend her life creating puppets, writing plays, and directing shows for kids.

Bringing Stories to Life with Puppets

In 1979, Silvina started her own puppet company called Asomados y escondidos. She founded it with another artist, Roly Serrano [es]. The company's name means "Peeking and Hiding," which is a fun way to think about how puppets appear on stage.

Famous Characters and Shows

With her company, Silvina created many memorable puppet shows. Some of her most popular ones were Huevito de ida y vuelta, El dueño del cuento, and Cucurucho de cuentos.

She also invented several beloved characters who appeared in her shows and books. These include a little dog named Rito, and two other characters named Marimonia and Sonio. Marimonia and Sonio became so popular that they even got their own TV show on a children's cable channel called Cablín [es].

Writing for Magazines

Besides her work in theater, Silvina also works for Billiken, a famous children's magazine in Argentina. She is in charge of a special section for very young children, helping to create fun and educational content.
