Ranco (Ran Cohen) is a children’s author whose stories blend humor, imagination, and emotional insight. The world of Leviatopia began more than twenty-five years ago as a bedtime story he invented for his children, long before it became a published book series. What started as a quiet nightly ritual gradually grew into a rich, whimsical universe shaped by family life, curiosity, and play.
His writing often explores themes of friendship, kindness, responsibility, and growing up, not through lectures, but through absurd situations, magical worlds, and everyday moments that feel familiar to young readers. Ranco believes that stories meant for children should be read aloud, shared, and laughed over, while still leaving space for thought and reflection.
In addition to the Leviatopia series, he is the creator of Tommy Tootley’s Fart-astic Family, a playful collection of books and interactive apps that celebrate silly humor, imagination, and the chaos of family life. Across all his work, Ranco aims to create stories that invite children to think, feel, and engage, whether on the page or on the screen.
He is a father of three, the devoted human of a dog named Luna, and continues to write stories meant to be shared one page at a time.
