There is Time

Lisa Melichar & Lisa A. Kennedy

With themes of simple pleasures, enjoying the moment, focusing on the task at hand, slowing down, mindfulness, appreciation and gratitude, There is Time is an illustrated children’s book that soothes the mind like a breath of fresh air.

A creative duo

There is Time is a collaboration between two mums, one from Muswellbrook, one from Mudgee NSW.

They both adore their kids and they want for them and for kids everywhere - a bit of pause, a bit of savour, calm and creativity.

Meet the author, Lisa Melichar

There is Time is a collaboration born from art appreciation and collection. Lisa Melichar, mum of three, penned this book to deliver a special message to her children. She then worked with Lisa A. Kennedy, a talented art creator, to enhance the story and bring it to life through illustration.

Meet the illustrator, Lisa A. Kennedy

Lisa A. Kennedy is an artist based in Mudgee, NSW. Art has always been a daily constant throughout her life. Although her art practice and art business, Art By Lisa, has previously focused on the subject matter of Australian birds and wildlife, recent motherhood has inspired both a new direction in her art and the co-creation of this story and accompanying illustrations.
