"You're no more than the stories that you're told, that you tell, and that are told about you," says author Oliver Jeffers

The best-selling children's author (The Day The Crayons Quit, How To Catch A Star) joins guest host Candy Palmater to discuss the importance of storytelling and imagination, as artfully illustrated in his latest title: A Child of Books. 

His new book, which was released earlier this week, is a collaboration with typographic artist Sam Winston.
