She has also written many children’s books of her own, some of which have won cool honors like the Oregon Book Award, Jewish Book Council’s Best Illustrated Book, IRA Notable Book, and Simon Wiesenthal’s Once Upon A World Award.
She is currently co-writing and art directing a series of graphic novels to be co-published by Trackers Earth and Dark Horse Comics.
