Abigail Marble has had her nose buried in one book or another since the day she learned how to read. Encouraged by her parents and a wonderful teacher, she began to write and illustrate stories in second grade.
Abigail was an art major at Brown University, and also studied in the
illustration department at Rhode Island School of Design. She subsequently
worked as a freelance graphic designer, while continuing
to work on illustrations and children's stories. My Secret Bully (written by
Trudy Ludwig and published by Riverwood Books) was published in February,
2004. She illustrated "Gulmamadak the Great," by Tamim Ansary (Educators
Publishing Service 2006), and "I Love Your Heart" by Tim McGraw came out in January 2010.
Abigail's current projects include: an unusual counting book; an
adventurous bed-time story; and a lively story about a little girl with an out-
sized imagination and her very patient grandpa. You can see more of her
