Molly Coxe's Early Readers have sold over 2 million copies. She is currently creating a new series of Early Readers for BraveMouse Books. "I love the challenge of telling a fresh, surprising story in a few words," says Molly. "I'm currently working on a "Short Vowel Adventure" featuring each of the short vowel sounds (a,e i,o u). Each story will be published in bilingual editions as well. The first Arabic, Spanish, Hindi, Portugese, French, German, Mandarin, and Italian bilingual editions will be available as ebooks in early 2014."Molly's last picture book, Benjamin and Bumper to the Rescue, won the 2011 Nautilus Award for Best Picture Book of the Year. The Nautilus Awards recognize "Books and Audio Books that promote spiritual growth, conscious living & positive social change, while at the same time they stimulate the "imagination" and offer the reader "new possibilities" for a better life and a better world." Molly is a certified high school English teacher, and has taught preschool, in addition to writing and illustrating stories for young children. She graduated from Princeton University with a degree in English literature and attended art school at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Her favorite writers are Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and George Eliot. Molly lives in northern California and is currently in the middle of a "short o" adventure.
