accepted, but that got him going as a writer.
At first, his books sold slowly and gained just a little popularity every year. Then, in
1986, he published Love You Forever. It became the bestselling children’s book in
Canada and the U.S., and Robert Munsch was suddenly a household name!
Twenty-five years later, Munsch still publishes about two books a year and they all sell
like crazy. But what he really loves to do is drop in on kindergarten and daycare classes
that have written to him. He will just show up, unannounced, and spend a few hours
telling stories. Often, he will arrange to stay with a student’s family and share a whole
day with them!
Everywhere he goes and all the people he meets provide Robert Munsch with more story
ideas and more joy. He’s never stopped being a kid, and kids never stop loving him.
