Kate illustrated And the Bullfrogs Sing, a Bank Street Best Book of the Year and a Maryland Blue Crab Young Reader Award Honors book, The Dirt Book: Poems about Animals that Live Beneath Our Feet, which was a New York Public Library Best Book of the Year and was selected for the Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List, and A Tree Is a Community, all by David.

With pencil-smudge fingers, Kate is usually hiding-out with a few pet earthworms, in her slightly-haunted art studio.
