Leah Mohammed lives in Shepperton, Surrey with her daughter and their much-loved dog, Henry. After studying for a degree in psychology and a masters in psychotherapy, Leah worked as a therapist before deciding to concentrate on her love of writing.

 

Coming from a mixed English and Pakistani background, Leah’s hope is to introduce diverse characters and explore different types of family dynamics in stories for everyone to enjoy. 

​

Leah’s fiction debut, Luma and the Pet Dragon (Welbeck) is the first of a warm and funny series about the adventures of a girl and her mischievous pet dragon, Timir, and it has been followed by Luma and the Hiccuping Dragon and Luma and the Grumpy Dragon. She is currently working on a brand new series, also for younger readers.
