Molly Bang is a children’s book author and illustrator. She’s written celebrated books like The Grey Lady and the Strawberry Snatcher and When Sophie Gets Angry…Really Really Angry. Her modern-day fables have been translated into dozens of languages. But over the past few years, she’s been working on something quite different.

 

Bang is creating a series of children’s picture books about basic earth science. She thinks it's essential that kids understand how the planet works, and how we might be getting in its way.

 

For more information about Molly Bang and her picture books, visit mollybang.com, or your local library.
