From 1949 to 1955 Oded Burla lived in the USA where he taught in Hebrew schools, worked as an announcer and speechwriter for a radio station "Kol America". In addition, he started his artist career. When he came back to Israel, Oded Burla had been admitted into Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in which he majored in graphics.
His first book, Letters to Liora, was Oded Burla's letters collection addressed to his niece when he was in the USA. He had never stopped drawing and his pictures were presented in many art exhibitions around the world. Oded Burla composed music for some children's songs.
Burla has written and illustrated 70 books. His books combine children's naivety and their sharpness, humor and amusing expressions. Most of his characters are animals put into strange adventurous situations. In his writings, Burla pays attention to every tiny detail and expresses love of nature. As a result, Burla was considered as the founder of an illogic children's literature in Hebrew culture. His last book was written in 1996.
