Hendra has worked as an illustrator for Bloomsbury, Walker Books, Oxford University Press, Macmillan and others.^[5] Hendra has one daughter named Wanda.^[6]

Work

Hendra had been working as an illustrator for several years before she changed her style due to the persuasion of Vicki Willden-Lebrecht of Bright Agency.^[4]

Hendra and Paul Linnet's book, Barry the Fish with Fingers was considered colourful and cheerful by Publishers Weekly.^[7] Hendra used gouache paint and deliberately created bright, flat compositions for the book, which Kirkus Reviews says introduced an "impossibly endearing little fish."^[8] The New York Times wrote that "Hendra's bright and cheerful undersea characters make the ocean seem like a great place to be."^[9] No-Bot, the Robot With No Bottom won the Picture Book Award in the 2014 Oxfordshire Book Awards.^[10]

The television adaptation of Wanda and the Alien was produced for the United Kingdom's Channel 5 Milkshake programming by Random House Enterprises and Komixx Entertainment.^[11] "Wanda and the Alien" also appeared on Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. channels in most countries.^[12] "Wanda and the Alien" was shortlisted for the 17th Big Chip Award in 2015.^[13]

Along with Linnet, Hendra wrote a book for 2016's World Book Day titled Supertato: Hap-Pea Ever After for pre-school children.
