“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.[4] 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.

In 1989, Borten moved from children's literature to a career in broadcast journalism.[7] She began volunteering at the public radio station WNYC in New York City, where she worked with Leonard Lopate on his weekly program New York and Company. She was quickly hired on as an assistant producer at WNYC, creating award-winning work for the station over the course of two years before losing her job during staff-wide layoffs.[2] Borten went freelance from then on, building a national career as a reporter and producer. Her work was presented by National Public Radio (NPR), Monitor Radio, and Crossroads.” - From Wikipedia
