“When I wrote “Little Lena and the Big Table”, I had a vague idea of what Lena looked like. Leila must've found a way to look into my brain, because the moment I saw the first artwork of Lena I knew my character was in wonderful hands. I couldn't have asked for a better collaborator. Leila's creative, hard working, generous. In short, she's amazing!” — Pj McIlvaine, Author , Little Lena and the Big Table
