She also wrote and illustrated the unique and fascinating book Color, a charming and instructive guide to how art goes through the four color printing process.

She then began work on a collection of six books, the How To Hide series on camouflage and the magic of this phenomenon in nature, which covered the entire animal kingdom -- insects, birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and sea creatures.
In 1983 and 1984, her third and fourth titles, The Reason For A Flower (about plants that have seeds and flowers) and Plants That Never Ever Bloom (about plants that do not) were published.
It was so successful that the sequel, and second book to be published, Animals Born Alive And Well (1982), about mammals, quickly followed.
After five years of rejection and one complete revision, Heller\'s first book, Chickens Aren\'t the Only Ones, about egg-laying animals, was published in 1981.
