Author About:

Sorour Kotobi, writer and translator, was born in Ahwaz in 1959 and became fond of stories when, as a child, he would listen to local stories in Khoozestan. Katbi got a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering from the Isfahan University of Technology, but after a while she abandoned the field and delved in children’s and young adult literature instead, publishing her first story in a children’s magazine. She has created works for different age groups, but the bigger portion of her writing is dedicated to preschoolers and she tries to write for this age group in different genres. Besides writing stories for this age group, she has also written scientific books. Some of her works are translated into other languages.
