Adrienne Yorinks's first picture book, Stand for Children by Marian Wright Edelman, was called a "stunning children's book debut" by Publishers Weekly.

A celebrated artist, Ms. Yorinks's unique textile work has been seen throughout the United States and around the world. Her commissions include Look At Their Faces, a work created to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the City University of New York, and AFL-CIO, 13 Million Voices Strong, a piece to celebrate the AFL-CIO's commitment to civil rights in America.
