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 Leah Srejber trained at the highly respected Enmore Design Centre in Sydney, graduating with an Advanced Diploma in Design & Illustration, Certificate 1V in 3D animation and character development. She is an inspired, vibrant and inventive illustrator who loves giving her characters a life of their own. Leah's enthusiasm for storytelling started from a very young age, when she discovered most people greatly preferred to believe her elaborate versions of the truth, no matter how exaggerated they were, rather than reality. 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 the well being of others. Leah lives and works in Sydney's Inner West.
