Her books Cinderella (As If You Didn’t Already Know the Tale) and Thumbalina: Tiny Runaway Bride both re-tell classic children' s stories with a creative, contemporary twist. Her books have been given great reviews not only for the unique way the stories are re-told, but for their whimsical black-and-white silhouette spot illustrations.
