In 2007 her first picture book in which she is also author of the text, “Yamaneko mōfu" (The Wildcat’s Blanket), was published by Parolsha.

The following year, the collection was published in English under the title “Catch and Release.” Binard won the Japan Picture Book Prize in 2007 for “Home is Here” (Koko ga ie da), his retelling of the story of the Lucky Dragon, a Japanese fishing vessel whose twenty-three crew members were exposed to radiation from a hydrogen bomb test in the South Pacific.
