She is an inspired, vibrant and inventive illustrator who loves giving her characters a life of their own.

Leah has a love of fine arts and spends long hours in her studio experimenting with mixed media, painting and drawing. In The Sidewalk Children's series of books, she has created an idiosyncratic style for Baby Tom and his family, designed for children around the globe to enjoy. She is also Studying nursing, having a keen interest in medicine, health and wellbeing of other. Leah lives and works in Sydney's Inner West. Jennifer Scott Mitchell is an accomplished editor and content strategist. She has 25 years' experience in the film, television and publishing industries. Jennifer founded and developed The Books for Parents and Children, a leading edge multimedia venture created for children aged 3 to 14 years. The books and activities were created through holistically merging themes from the sciences, culture, space, history and the built and natural environments, assisting children to explore patterns and interconnections within the web of life. Baby Tom and his family's desire to be brought to life kept her awake at night for many a year, until she shared her vision with illustrator Leah Srejber... and so The Sidewalk Children's stories were born. She is married with three amazing children and lives in Sydney, Australia
