In 1952, she published Cuentanan di Nanzi, stories about the spider Nanzi, a common character in Afro-Caribbean and Akan folktales; it was especially this work that contributed to making the Antillean oral art accessible to a wider audience. For the original version of the Nanzi stories, she consulted works in the West Indische Gids from 1937, which she adapted to Papiamento and adapted for children. In 1970, the Nanzi stories were adapted into Dutch by Jan Droog under the title Biba Nanzi! Series of folktales from the Netherlands Antilles retold from Papiamento. An English translation by the Scottish linguist Richard Wood, was later published.

They were fables, fairy tales, and tales of Nanzi the spider, which had been until then passed down from grandmother to grandchild. After these collections, Nos dushi papiamentu (Our sweet Papiamento) was published in 1947, a Papiamento textbook written for Dutch speakers who did not know the language. A year later, she published Bam canta (Let's sing) in collaboration with the composer Rudolph Palm. This was a collection of 47 old religious and secular songs and new lyrics, written by approximately 30 local and composers, including Rudolph Palm and Jacobo Palm.
