Hi, I’m Ran Cohen - but you can call me Ranco. By day I design medical devices that (actually) help people. By night I write noisy, silly stories about fart-loving families and a giant whale city.

After 30 years in hi-tech, I’ve found my true passion in storytelling - especially the kind that makes kids laugh out loud. I created Leviatopia and the Tommy Tootley’s Fart-astic Family because I believe imagination should be as loud and joyful as life itself.

I’m also a proud dad of three, a fan of audiobooks, and someone who once dreamed up an entire story while stuck in traffic. True story.
