Ha un approccio distintivo, incorporando oggetti trovati e dettagli che arricchiscono la narrazione. Le sue creazioni per bambini sono profondamente ispirate dalla sua vita quotidiana e dalla sua acuta osservazione del mondo, incarnando il sentimento della poetessa Mary Oliver: "Prestare attenzione, questo è il nostro lavoro infinito e corretto."
