Leaman has written for Hachette Children's Books, with titles including The Garden and Born Free Elephant Rescue: The True Story of Nina and Pinkie, based on The Born Free Foundation's dramatic rescue of orphaned elephants.

Nina's story was also televised by the BBC, in a documentary featuring British actor, Martin Clunes, called Born to be Wild.

In 2004 Leaman won a writing competition in the Times Educational Supplement.[1] This led to a publishing deal with Continuum International Publishing), for whom she wrote five teaching/behaviour management guides. As an experienced teacher and behaviour consultant, she has delivered teacher training throughout the UK, mainly based on her book Managing Very Challenging Behaviour.
