Playful stories
for growing minds.

Hi, I’m Aleesha, a children’s illustrator and primary educator based in Sydney, Australia.

I create expressive characters and stories shaped by the way children see the world: full of curiosity, small discoveries and feelings that can seem very big.

Friends.

Growing up brings big feelings.
A little friend can help.

Meet Wobble.

She’s the first little friend in the Little Classroom Friends world, and she’s got a whole bunch of feelings to share.

Little Classroom Friends is a growing collection of playful characters and gentle stories exploring feelings, friendship, curiosity and the little challenges of growing up.

About me

Hello, I’m Aleesha

A little about me

After many years in the classroom, I’ve seen firsthand the big feelings, curious questions, funny little moments and growing confidence that make childhood so wonderfully messy.

My illustration work draws on that experience, with a focus on playful characters, storytelling, humour and the little details that make a world feel alive.

When I’m not drawing or teaching, you’ll usually find me at the gym, or spending time with my husband and our dog, Rio. I’m a bit of a homebody.

Let’s make something wonderful.
