Dori Durbin

Dori Durbin is a Christian wife, mom, author, illustrator and a kids’ book coach who grew up most of her life in a rural town in Michigan. She holds a BA in English, a secondary teaching certification, a Master’s degree in Human Services specializing in Schools and Communities, and creatively educated high and middle school English and Science students for ten years.

After experiencing a life-changing illness, Dori quickly switched gears to follow her dream. She creates kids’ books that provide a fun and safe passageway for kids and parents to dig deeper and better express emotions. She also coaches other authors to create their own kids’ book and share their expertise to help families. Dori has written three children’s books in her Little Cat Feelings Series: "Little Cat Needs Space," "Little Cat Feels Left Out," and "Little Cat & Dog's Birthday Bake: A Recipe in Caring” and will always own a furry horde of cats.
