In 1902, Smith and Green collaborated on the illustrations for a calendar for Bryn Mawr College. This successful venture encouraged the women to produce another calendar, but this time they self-invested in the project and a 1903 calendar was produced for them by The Beck Engraving Company of Philadelphia (run by Charles W. Beck, Jr.), with a 1902 copyright. They used the same illustrations for a 1904 calendar produced the same way. Subsequently, the New York publishing firm Frederick A. Stokes Company asked the women permission to reprint their calendar art work only this time accompanied by a series of poems written by Mabel Humphrey, a popular children’s author. This was published under the title, Book of the Child.
