Soroor Kotobi’s works, over the course of her writing career, gradually shifted away from being purely instructional and toward indirect teaching, and ultimately toward literature itself. As time passed, she developed her own unique style and language, centered on writing for children. Gradually, she developed a unique approach to incorporating animals, tools, and objects from her home, school, and the child’s surrounding environment into her stories. In Kotobi’s works, the choice of themes across various social, psychological, and environmental domains—whether in the genres of fantasy, realism, tales and legends, or occasionally in retellings of classical works—shows a precise and well- structured approach to the subject. The story elements, characterizations, settings, language, point of view, and structure are all carefully crafted to convey a unified message. The selection of words—meaning the construction of language in her works—takes into account both the atmosphere of the story and the capacity and mindset of the child audience. In most of her works, the language is concise, and she effectively uses dialogue to bring the story’s atmosphere to life.
