Since then, she has continued to write poetry, historical fiction, and nonfiction biographical works for children.

She said in an interview with The Brown Bookshelf that one of the most important poems she has written was Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom: " Those inspired words came together with Kadir Nelson ’ s soulful paintings and Ellice Lee ’ s brilliant art direction in a perfect publishing storm.

Moses propelled my career to another level.

" Moses has won a Caldecott Award for Illustration as well as an NAACP Image Award as an Outstanding Literary Work for Children and became a New York Times bestseller.
