Nirgad is a writer and translator. As High As the Scooter Can Fly is her first English-language book. The adult fairy tale is about one of several sisters whose names all begin with the letter "L," and one of whom is long dead but occasionally comes back for a visit. Layla, their mother, is bored with her life in the suburbs and marriage to a cold, silent husband, and when she uncovers a magic scooter in the backyard, she sets off on a globetrotting adventure to find happiness and a handsome prince.
From her work on the border between Jerusalem and Ramallah her book and play Winter in Qualandia was created.
Nirgad wrote several novels and a children's book, which was also edited for Israeli children's television. She translated Cold Mountain, by Charles Frazier, and Birds of America, by Lorrie Moore into Hebrew. Her own works published in German and English.
