The two decided that because they had so many of the same customers, they were going to start working together on projects, using "Doris and George Hauman" as the signature on all of their illustrations. Doris wrote the books they created together, and helped George with the illustrations. One of the books they wrote and illustrated, Happy Harbor, A Seashore Story (New York: Macmillan, 1938), depicts a town much like Scituate. After George's death Doris worked for 14 years at the Derby Academy, where she taught courses in art.

Although there had been many previous editions of this classic story, "It was the work of George and Doris Hauman that earned The Little Engine the title of being worthy to sit on the same shelf as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." Namely, the title was one of 17 that received the inaugural Lewis Carroll Shelf Awards in 1958.
