Leah sings, plays and signs her debut album, Cake for Dinner, for Tobin an 11 year-old-boy on his last round of chemo. Tobin has an amazing spirit and loves music! Having talent come to the hospital and perform live helps to lift the spirit and anxieties of the patients and their families.

Do, Re, Mi- Children's Music has come quite a long way since kids were pounded with repeated renditions of "Old MacDonald had a Farm". Texan Leah White's acoustic guitar and soaring voice could get her mistaken for a modern folkie, but just listen a little closer. Songs like "Car Seat Blues" and "Dead Armadillo" are definately aimed at kids. And don't worry--she can still break out a mean version of "itsy Bitsy Spider" if need be.

Renowned singer-guitarist Leah White brings a "Monster's Party" to delight kids of all ages. Check out the evocative and thrilling sounds of one of Houston's very own, popular children's artists.

Leah White's humorous lyrics bring smiles to all of our patients at Texas Children's. She is entertaining and always sends a positive, uplifting message to our children and families.
