She was a well-known author and illustrator who wrote and illustrated many children's books, including "A Chair for My Mother",  "More, More, More Said the Baby!",  "Lucky Song",  "Amber Was Brave", and "A Chair for Always".

She has one final book, which will be published posthumously: Home At Last.  While she wrote the manuscript, she didn't feel that she could adequately illustrate the book.  Chris Raschka is the illustrator of the book, and it will be published next year.
