🌟Testimonials

"I had a chance to look at her beautiful stories, they’re very lovely. If I had a publishing company, I’d publish all of them. She’s phenomenally talented, an amazing artist, really extraordinary.

Her character design is beautiful, and she has such a great imagination.The stories are tender and she tackles some very important themes.

I love the amount of words she uses, not too much, just enough. These stories are ready to be shared with the world. I can’t wait to see more!”

"I can’t recommend Sahar more. She came to me as a writing and illustration mentee in the Fall of 2023 and quickly translated her abundance of ideas and many art and storytelling talents into multiple fully realized children’s book concepts.

I’ve never had a mentee work so hard or be so prolific, skilled, kind, creative, cooperative, and passionate.

Sahar’s voice is wonderfully unique while also being highly appealing to a large audience, and she can produce meaningful, humorous, and charming work incredibly fast.

I know she is bound to be a shining star, and I feel so lucky to have been a part of her journey. I’m looking forward to being her children’s book colleague and am proud to call her my friend."

🌟MindFulness for Children

I’m the founder of a nonprofit called The Little Soul, created with one simple hope: to help children feel safe inside themselves—more resilient, more self-compassionate, more at home in their own hearts.

Over the years, I’ve brought this mission to life through two children’s apps, and today my focus is on interactive, playful workshops where kids don’t just “learn” emotional skills—they experience them through stories, movement, creativity, and real connection

Michka 

“Meeka’s Secret” is an interactive story app I created to gently support children who’ve experienced sexual abuse. With over 125,000 downloads, it became a safe and empowering tool for emotional healing through storytelling.

The Last Door

"The Last Door"  is an interactive story app that gently helps Persian-speaking teenage boys explore their emotions and inner worldchallenging traditional notions of masculinity and encouraging emotional awareness.

The Mural of kindness

The Mural of Kindness is a community art project that turns good deeds into lasting beauty. Children complete three acts of kindness—one for themselves, one for someone they love, and one for the planet. Their reflections inspire a mural painted on a school or community wall, celebrating the love and light they carry inside. At the end, each child signs their name beneath the mural—because kindness leaves a mark, and so do they.

"Play to Feel" workshop

A high-energy, interactive session where children use movement, sounds, and imagination to explore emotions by becoming playful characters like lions and trees. This fun workshop encourages creativity, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence.
