prepared me especially well for the critical component of my master’s. I think that my undergrad experience paved the way for my MFA in writing for children and young adults. I use both of those skills every day, even though I didn't get to do any writing specifically for kids or teens in my Grinnell English classes. Those classes ignited a passion for nurturing literacy in children, which has guided my entire career. As an English major, I learned to read critically and write articulately. I was in the education program at Grinnell.
How did your Grinnell experience influence your writing? We chatted with Molly Beth about her writing and Rhoda’s Rock Hunt. She has a dozen manuscripts in various stages of preparation and another dozen or two that no one will ever see. Molly Beth Griffin ’05 has published two picture books so far, Loon Baby and Rhoda’s Rock Hunt, which was recently released. Picture books that beg to be reread dozens of times are a unique and challenging art form.
