About
Ehsan Doumer is a children's author, illustrator, and early childhood educator.
She creates stories that spark curiosity, nurture imagination, and carry subtle life lessons. Her books explore the emotional, behavioral, and everyday challenges children encounter as they grow, while inviting young readers to see themselves in the characters and discover something about their own world.
Her journey into children's storytelling began during the pandemic, when she wrote her first story about Pumpkin, her family's beloved cat. Many of her stories are also inspired by the children she worked with as a preschool teacher, whose questions, emotions, and unique ways of seeing the world continue to influence her work.
Ehsan believes children are natural explorers, born with an innate desire to understand the world around them. Through her stories, she hopes to nurture that sense of wonder while creating characters and experiences that feel familiar, comforting, and meaningful.
And although her books are written for children, she leaves something there for the grown-ups too: a small doorway back to the part of themselves that once wondered, imagined, and felt everything deeply. Her hope is that her stories will leave both children and adults with something to carry long after the last page.
