Search - List of Books by Molly Bang

Molly Bang (born 1943) is an American illustrator, born in Princeton, New Jersey. She lives in California, after having lived for some time in Massachusetts.

Bang began writing children's books after a failed stint as a reporter for The Baltimore Sun. At first illustrating folk tales, she turned eventually to her own stories, which carry an emotional intensity rare in children's illustration. The ability to carry emotion in pictures is of particular interest to her; her one book for adults, Picture This (1991) is specifically about the practical ways pictures work. Her wordless picture book The Grey Lady and the Strawberry Snatcher is notable for its use of negative space and the way Bang contrasts bright colors against grey.
