Molly Beth Griffin

I am a graduate of Hamline University’s MFA program in Writing for Children and Young Adults, and a writing teacher at the Loft Literary Center in the Twin Cities. A Minnesota native, I now live in South Minneapolis with my family. I love cooking, reading, and hiking in all kinds of weather.

I've authored two picture books, LOON BABY and RHODA'S ROCK HUNT, a young adult novel, SILHOUETTE OF A SPARROW, two poetry chapbooks, and a series of beginning readers. Two more picture books are forthcoming in 2020 and 2021.

Though my writing reaches across all age groups and genres, it all demonstrates my passion for exploring young people’s changing relationship to the natural world. For more information about my books, writing classes, events, and manuscript critique service, please visit www.mollybethgriffin.com.
