Meet Robert Munsch

[close] “I told two new stories every day,” says children’s book author Robert Munsch. “And after about two years I had fifteen stories that I remembered because the kids asked for them all the time.”

Munsch didn’t know it at the time, but he was developing his writing process through storytelling. The author of almost sixty books for children began his writing career at a daycare, telling his stories over and over to kids. Eventually those stories were honed into bestsellers, including the classics The Paperbag Princess and Mortimer.

Watch this video to see Munsch describe how children become a part of each of his books.
