This was due in part to her daughter's marriage to a man from Cameroon. Trina is also considered one of the first white American illustrators to regularly incorporate Black characters into her illustrations. She was a regular contributor to the magazine until her death. Trina was the first art director of Cricket Magazine from 1973 to 1979. After divorcing Harris in 1968, Trina and Katrin moved to a farm in Lyme, New Hampshire. There she illustrated her first book, Toffe and the Little Car. She and Harris then moved to Stockholm, Sweden, where she studied at the Swedish State Art School. In 1960 she graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. In 1959 Trina married Harris Hyman and moved to Boston. As a child, her favorite story was Little Red Riding Hood and she tirelessly wore a red cape that her mother made. At an early age she learned to read and draw. Trina Schart was born Apin Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Trina also said 'I can only work on one book at a time, because when I am illustrating a book (or even just the jacket illustration for a novel) I am totally immersed in the 'world' of that story, and dare not let anything else intrude into the imaginary world that I've created.'

(I apologize, my scans are lighter than the actual book) In researching what medium Trina worked in, I found this excerpt of an interview with Trina from Something about the Author, Volume 46. Trina's work makes me think of Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac, with her highly detailed illustrations and great use of shadow and light.
