Diane Muldrow is an American author and former editorial director at Golden Books. Her most notable work is the New York Times bestselling series Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Little Golden Book. [1]
Education and Early Career
Muldrow graduated from Ohio University with Bachelor's in Fine Arts and Magazine Journalism. [2] Immediately following graduation, she worked as a dancer and actor in New York City. While working as a junior editor for Golden Books, she occasionally wrote licensed books for Disney and Barbie [3]. Her first original work, The Happy Book, an interactive novelty book with sensory elements, was published in 1999 by Scholastic [4]. In the same year, Muldrow returned to work at Golden Books as an editor, and planned on creating a series focused on teen girls with fellow editor Bonnie Bader. The series later materialized with Muldrow as the author and Bader as the editor as the Dish series [3].
Later Career
Muldrow is a prolific author, primarily of children's literature. Her most notable works are for the Golden Books series. In 2013, she published Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Little Golden Book [5]. She has since published four other titles in the series Everything I Need to Know About Love I Learned from a Little Golden Book (2014), Everything I Need to Know About Christmas I Learned from a Little Golden Book (2014), Everything I Need to Know About Disney I Learned from a Little Golden Book (2015), and Everything I Need to Know About Family I Learned from a Little Golden Book (2017). In 2007, Muldrow and literary historian Leonard S. Marcus curated an exhibit of Little Golden Book art. For the 75th anniversary of the Little Golden Book series, Muldrow published several books that celebrated the history of the series[6]. In 2018 she stepped down as editorial director at Golden Books to become a full time author [2].
