She was a founding member of the American Abstract Artists group, and her work is represented in prominent museum collections across the country.

Reviews

"Rhythmic, repetitive, child-friendly storytelling. The story feels satisfyingly complete." -- New York Times Book Review "How often does a sequel pick up exactly where its predecessor left off-seventy-five yars later? A worthy successor to Slobodkina's original." -- Publishers Weekly
