Q: I love Robert Munsch! How can I find out more about him and his books?

A: 
Robert Munsch likes to use the kids he meets on his storytelling adventures across Canada and the U.S. in his books. Ribbon Rescue, for example, was inspired by Jillian, a Mohawk girl from the Kahnawake reserve outside of Montreal, who went to hear a storytelling wearing a traditional ribbon dress.
