Turska is one of 10 (among 50?) winners of the Kate Greenaway Medal for children's book illustration who lacks a biography at English Wikipedia as of 2017-01-19.

Pegasus (Hamish Hamilton), the myth of Pegasus and Bellerophon retold by Turska, was a "Commended" runner-up for the 1970 medal. She won the 1972 medal for The Woodcutter's Duck (Hamish Hamilton).

Presumably the bad link that we provide (http://www.carnegiegreenaway.org.uk/livingarchive/title.php?id=35) targets an official webpage for the 1972 medal.

The award is not limited to children's picture books but WorldCat records show that the honoured books by Turska are both unpaged "[32]". The former with summary, "Kindness to a frog brings a Polish woodcutter an unusual power and a change of fortune."
