Her work, highly valued at auction, includes illustrations for Pinocchio, Heidi and The Three Bears. We feature The Lost Giant and Other American Indian Tales Retold, with her dedication:

To My Beloved Father who was always ready with an answer to those questions of childhood: “Did you ever see a ‘really-truly’ Indian?” and “Will you tell me about when you were a little boy?” V.M.H.
