Her first book published in 1976, Max, is about a boy who realizes that taking ballet can help him become a better baseball player. She briefly danced with the Boston Ballet Company, until a foot injury caused her to seek work as a visual artist instead. She studied under New York City Ballet founder and artistic director, George Balanchine, and costume and scenic designer, Rouben Ter-Arutunion. Isadora started dancing as a young girl and went on to study at the School of American Ballet on a scholarship from the Ford Foundation. In addition to freelance writing and illustration, Isadora shows and sells oil paintings, many of which reflect her love of dance, as well as her experiences living in Africa and New York City.
