"Helen Borten began writing and illustrating books for children in the late 1950s and continued her work throughout the 1960s. Her first published book was Little Big-Feather (1956) , written by Joseph Longstreth with illustrations by Borten. Little Big-Feather was named one of the ten best illustrated books of 1956 by The New York Times'. Borten appeared on that list again in 1959 with Do You See What I See? , her first book as sole author and illustrator. She went on to write a total of nine books of her own and illustrated, by her estimate, more than 20 others, including several from the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science books series."
