Molly Idle has been drawing ever since she could wield a pencil at the tender age of 18 months. After graduating from Arizona State University with a BFA in Drawing, Molly accepted an offer to work for DreamWorks Feature Animation Studios. After five years, a number of film credits, and an incredibly good time, she left the studio and leapt with gusto into the world of children's book illustration. Molly has written and illustrated numerous books for Abingdon Press, Zonderkidz, and Accord Publishing. She has several picture books due out in 2013, including Flora and the Flamingo from Chronicle, Tea Rex from Viking Press, and Zombelina from Bloomsbury/Walker Books.<BR><BR>http://www.painted-words.com/idle.html<BR><BR>
