The Art:
Books aren’t created by just one person. It takes a team. In the case of Molly Gets Her Wheels, it took a team of artists to make the written words come to life.
Laura Merer – Illustrator
Artist and Illustrator, Laura Merer, lives in California with her husband Adam and three teenage children, Aidan, Kyra, and Olivia. (She is also the loving owner of one dog and a growing number of cats!)
Laura has illustrated several children books, including titles such as Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Take Me Out To The Ball Game, Fuzzy Ducky’s Birthday, and Where’s Daddy?
When not drawing in her “Cow Cat Studio,” Laura can be found working with kitten rescues, listening to podcasts, and watching Bob’s Burgers (which she is addicted to)!

Tammie Lyon – Art Director
Award-winning author and illustrator, Tammie Lyon, lives in Ohio with her husband, Lee, and her dogs, Amos, Dudley, and Artie.
As an only child, drawing became a favorite form of self-entertainment. Beginning at a very young age, while drawing at the kitchen table with her dad, she would sit for hours drawing things around the house, later presenting them as gifts to her mother.
Today, she shares her gift with the world by illustrating books (well over 100!), posters, magazines, CDs, games, clothing—and just about anything else you can think of. She’s even authored her first children’s book, Olive and Snowflake (Marshall Cavendish). She is represented by MB Artists.
Tammie is currently working on two very popular book series for children: The Katie Woo series (Capstone Publishing) and a spin-off series called Pedro, First Grade Hero. To learn more, visit her website at: www.tammielyon.com
