Post made her debut in 1946 as illustrator of the book Het boek van Thijs en Claartje written by J.A. Schreuder.[2] Post won a Vlag en Wimpel award in 1980 for illustrating the book Ik woonde in een leunstoel by Guus Kuijer and also in 1984 for illustrating the book Het geheim van Toet-Mu-Is III by Mansfield Kirby.[3]

Post illustrated many of Guus Kuijer's books, in particular his Madelief book series. Kuijer won two Gouden Griffel awards and one Zilveren Griffel award for three books in the series. The series was later adapted to television (Madelief, 1994) and film (Scratches in the Table, 1998). In 1982 she won the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis together with Guus Kuijer for the book Erzähl mir von Oma, the German translation of Krassen in het tafelblad (1978).[4]

From 1985 onwards Post illustrated many of Toon Tellegen's books for almost three decades. In 2006, at age 81, Post received the Zilveren Penseel award for her illustrations in Tellegen's book Midden in de nacht.

gollark: Assume there are integers x, y satisfying x²-y²=2(x-y)(x+y)=2x-y, x+y are both integers because they are a sum/difference of integersx, y >= 0 because (-x)²=x² so just ignore negative solutions since they only exist if a positive one does2 has the factors 2,1 so x-y, x+y must be 1, 2 in some orderx-y, x+y differ by 2yx-y, x+y differ by 12y=1y=½But y is an integer
gollark: We are having such advanced intellectual conversations.
