Other works by Longstreet include illustrations for Christine Whiting Parmenter's The Real Reward (1927). She also illustrated Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom by Louisa May Alcott.[6] Her illustrations for Alcott's Little Women have been described as "stress[ing] the gentility of the March family. ... subordinating representation to decorative effect, endowing all her female characters with delicate profiles, stylized hands, and dainty slippered feet".[7]

She also illustrated The Story of Silk (1925) by Sara Ware Bassett[8] and The Fairyland of Opera by Louise M. Pleasanton.

She illustrated several books by Alice Turner Curtis, including A Frontier Girl of Pennsylvania, A Yankee Girl at Lookout Mountain,[9] A Little Maid of New Hampshire (1928), A Little Maid of South Carolina (1929), and A Little Maid of New Orleans (1930).
