Bio
idle_biopic   Molly Idle has been drawing ever since she could wield a pencil, at the tender age of 18 months, though her professional career began slightly later… It was upon her graduation from Arizona State University, with a BFA in Drawing, that 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 is currently hard at work on picture books due out from Viking, Chronicle, and Bloomsbury/Walker Books in 2013.
