Blanche Thompson felt that young children should be exposed to modern poetry from an early age and created a small anthology of poetry for children called Silver Pennies that featured excerpted works of modern poets. Thompson started to write her own stories for children, and produced 30 books. She was a devoted Catholic, and some of her books were hagiographies or had religious themes. She also produced a second anthology of poetry, More Silver Pennies.
